Presentation of the project
The use of digital tools is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common, both in the private sphere and professionally. Human beings are increasingly having to interact and “cohabit” with machines and their applications for complex tasks (writing a memoir, experiencing a simulation, etc.) but also, and increasingly, for routine and everyday activities (checking a train timetable, buying a bus ticket, reading the paper, making your payments, taking photos or videos, making an appointment, checking your schedule, but also tuning your instrument, finding the right tempo, etc.).
The main aim of this study is to define the role and place that professors of instruments and singing are allocating to digital tools, in professional classes. Based on a mixed methodological approach (quantitative method and qualitative method), it aims to draw up the most precise and exhaustive inventory possible of the different uses that teachers in higher schools of music are making of these multiple resources and tools (computers, smartphones, apps, the cloud). Particular emphasis will be placed on everyday digital technologies (apps available on smartphones and/or tablets in particular).
