I had the pleasure of having a great chat with Dr. Jim Frankel, the Founder and Director of MusicFirst - a company dedicated to providing world class software, resources, and content to music teachers and students around the world. While we focused on technology in music education, the conversation touched on many aspects of education, from access to race, to pedagogy and visions for the future. Yes, there is a digital divide and we want more young people to have more access - but at what cost?
I hope you gain as much from listening to this as I did being a part of this difficult but important conversation.
Such an honest and thought-provoking conversation it's refreshing to hear someone speak so openly about the challenges and hopes in music education. The digital divide is real, and it’s critical to find ways to expand access without compromising quality. For schools and organizations trying to stay efficient while adapting to tech changes, managed document services can really help simplify daily operations and keep things running smoothly. Conversations like this remind us how much thoughtful innovation still needs to happen in education
