Müzikte Dijital Sesler

The main reason for applying for this project is the rise of digitalization in the field of music education and the increasing potential for students to engage in digital music-related activities. The storytelling of digital music highlighted in the project and the efforts to develop students' musical expression skills serve the purpose of enhancing their creativity and supporting their social-emotional learning. The international dimension of the project is important as music is a universal phenomenon and has the potential to reach large audiences through powerful tools such as social media and the internet. The international strategy allows students to interact interculturally and develop their language skills. Our application also includes efforts to focus on students' needs to develop 21st century skills and to encourage students' active participation by creating interactive learning environments that include activities related to digital music. This project aimed to strengthen students' skills and competences related to digital music.

When this project was implemented, teachers and students found opportunities to develop lifelong competencies and personal values. The project allowed the partnership of five stakeholders to form an international team with planned project activities and focus on specific competencies. The Making Digital Music project targeted creativity, academic groundedness, social and emotional learning, digital notation reading and writing skills to meet the needs for 21st century skills. Support work started with the e-Twinning project "Digital Music for Social-Emotional Learning and Creativity", which aimed to develop students' expressive skills through music. The project encouraged students' participation by creating interactive learning environments that took place in six countries. The Digital Music project provided students with the ability to search for information, write musical scenarios, communicate with notation, perform and evaluate tasks. Other key objectives of the project included cultural interaction, development of language skills, providing equal opportunities for disadvantaged students and strengthening students' skills in digital music.
