This chapter asks an important, yet seemingly illusive, question: In what ways does the internet provide (or not) activist—or, for present purposes “artivist”—opportunities and engagements for musicing, music sharing, and music teaching and learning? According to Asante (2008), an “artivist (artist + activist) uses her artistic talents to fight and struggle against injustice and oppression—by any medium necessary. The artivist merges commitment to freedom and justice with the pen, the lens, the brush, the voice, the body, and the imagination. The artivist knows that to make an observation is to have an obligation” (p. 6). Given this view, can (and should) social media be a means to achieve artivism through online musicing and music sharing, and, therefore, music teaching and learning? Taking a feminist perspective, this chapter interrogates the nature of cyber musical artivism as a potential means to a necessary end: positive transformation. In what ways can social media be a conduit (or hindrance) for cyber musical artivism? What might musicing and music sharing gain (or lose) from engaging with online artivist practices? In addition to a philosophical investigation, this chapter will examine select case studies of online artivist music making and music sharing communities with the above concerns in mind, specifically as they relate to music education.

A virtual ensemble is a digital musical product that uses multiple recordings edited together to form a musical ensemble. Creating virtual ensembles can be a way for music educators to engage students through online music-making. This article presents eight steps for creating virtual ensembles in music education courses and classrooms. The steps are (1) identifying objectives and desired outcomes, (2) selecting repertoire, (3) developing learning resources, (4) creating an anchor for synchronizing, (5) choosing a recording method, (6) setting up a collection platform, (7) editing in postproduction, and (8) distributing the product. As online music production becomes more prevalent, projects like virtual ensembles can provide creative and exciting experiences for music teachers and students, whether produced in the classroom or through remote means on the Internet.

As a result of the analyzes made, it was determined that in some applications, interval, scale and chord subjects were explained. It is comprehended that theoretical studies such as setting up defining intervals, scales and chords are included in the applications where ear training are carried out.In some applications, interval, scale, chord vocalization and playing exercises are additionally included.

The Internet is now a central resource in the transmission of Irish traditional music (ITM), with over 80 per cent of Irish traditional musicians citing that they use online resources. The Online Academy of Irish Music (OAIM) is a website that offers online tuition, and employs innovative virtual pedagogies including Virtual Classrooms, Virtual Sessions, Jam Sessions and Virtual Reality Sessions. Through ethnographic means and focusing on the OAIM as a case study, this article highlights the connection between music and social learning in the ITM tradition. Informed by the work of ethnomusicologists Turino, Rice and Merriam, it documents how the virtual world is attempting to mimic social experiences for the learner of ITM. Documenting this process of mimicking reveals the challenges of holistic online learning, which could prove informative for all stakeholders in the pedagogic process as OAIM endeavours to address the shortcomings and inform the broader investigations into online music education.

The article reveals the positive and negative aspects of the development of domestic guitar education in terms of distance learning. Applying the methods of historical and pedagogical analysis and a systematic approach, the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine were analyzed, which considered this area of development of the educational process and scientific works of guitar researchers. It is determined that the standards of higher education in the specialty 025 «Musical Arts» do not specify the quality of computer and software. It has been found that students, teachers, and heads of educational institutions from time to time face the issue of updating computer equipment to implement a quality educational process. It is proved that when using the software «Zoom» or «Skype» for group practical classes, a small error in the work of the Internet can lead to desynchronization in the work of the music group. It is highlighted that professions related to training, individual services, and creativity will remain relevant, as they cannot be replaced by automated systems even with the use of artificial intelligence; «the introduction of distance learning tools in schools is positive, in particular the use of the Microsoft Teams for Education Center, which includes the following options: downloading materials, storing and sharing them; possibility to add electronic textbooks / educational games; placement of announcements, digests for all participants of the educational process», etc.; negative aspects of the development of domestic guitar education in terms of distance learning are the lack of live contact between teacher and student, the inability to visually adjust the performance movements (left and right hand, artistic gestures, etc.); the ability of the mentor to remove the mental and physiological clamp from the performer is lost; slow internet connection speed and low quality of computer components can hinder a quality educational process and others. In terms of distance learning, domestic guitar education has changed the vector of its development. Users of Internet resources became the target audience of performing guitar art, and music education of guitarists received new opportunities for improvement. However, there are still factors that hinder the full implementation of positive changes. We consider the following to be the main ones: the lack of live communication between the teacher and the student, the unstable speed of the Internet connection in some regions of Ukraine and the low quality of computer components among some participants in the educational process.

The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide has caused education to be carried out through distance learning. Due to this situation, flute instructors faced many difficulties in instrument training, which had to be done remotely in professional music education institutions. A research was conducted to determine the training and examination processes of the instructors for flute education, their experiences, readiness for online education, negativities, and solutions during the pandemic process. Convergent parallel design, one of the mixed research methods, was used in the study. The study group consists of 22 flute instructors who work in different professional music education institutions in Turkey. An open- and close-ended questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. It was revealed that flute instructors conducted classes in different ways during the pandemic, they had to make their evaluations mostly individually, and they had many difficulties due to the internet and the applications used. As a result of the research in order for online flute training to be more effective, it was recommended that both instructor communication be more active and trainers receive training that will contribute to their professional development in online education.
