DESCRIPTION:*Part of the Arts and Social Justice Seminar Series*\n\nIn thi
 s seminar\, I will discuss theoretical and practical approaches to music e
 ducation technology from the standpoint of digital culture. Using Finnish 
 popular music pedagogy and general music education as a critical reflectin
 g surfaces\, I argue that the impact of digital culture does not just indi
 cate changes in the choice of musical tools and how such tools are used in
  the classroom: more importantly\, it calls music teachers to identify new
  aesthetic approaches to music(k)ing that transcend the lines between trad
 itional artistic practices\, including those of popular music. Furthermore
 \, digital culture introduces new ways to think about musicianship and how
  it is developed in social networks of learning\, helping us to recognize 
 how a music teacher can operate as a node in the diverse webs of social-cu
 ltural transactions that help the students to construct their musical-arti
 stic identities. I will also discuss the implications of all this to music
  teacher training and research of music education\, using recent developme
 ntal projects at Sibelius Academy as examples.\n\n*Lauri Väkevä* is a pr
 ofessor in music education at Sibelius Academy of University of the Arts\,
  Helsinki\, Finland. After graduating as a music teacher from University o
 f Jyväskylä\, he began his doctoral studies at University of Oulu\, grad
 uating as a Licentiate of Education in 1999 and as Doctor of Philosophy in
  2004. He has been working at Sibelius Academy since 2004\, first as a lec
 turer and later as a professor.\n
