The intersection of the arts with technology can provide educators with a focus that is more in tune with students’ lived experiences, providing a relevant context for the making of meaning. Yet the technological advances of the last few decades have done little to alter the pedagogical practice of most music teachers. Teaching with technology requires a shift in pedagogical practice from learning about technology to creating with technology. School-university partnerships can provide preservice and inservice teachers with the hands-on, technology-rich experiences and collaborative projects that are necessary to transform music teacher preparation.
