Description
Summary:Spanish music conservatories had to close their buildings with the aim of containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers at these conservatories took steps to continue teaching remotely using technological resources. The objective of this research is to analyse how teachers at Spanish conservatories adapted the teaching and learning processes during the closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to review the potential to change the future of music education. This study has been carried out through interviews with 36 active teachers of conservatories from all the regions of Spain. The findings show the difficulty of teaching during lockdown, the complexity of virtualizing subjects of instrumental practice (carried out, in part, with teacher resources), and that the digital competence of teachers generates diverse comments. Given the scant evidence that changes made during confinement have caused teachers to desire permanent changes to the traditional aspects of the way they teach, they remain strong advocates of face-to-face teaching. Los conservatorios de música españoles han tenido que cerrar sus edificios con el objetivo de contener la propagación de la pandemia COVID-19. Los docentes de estos conservatorios han adoptado medidas para continuar con la enseñanza de forma remota utilizando recursos tecnológicos. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar cómo los profesores de conservatorios españoles adaptaron los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje durante el cierre causado por la pandemia COVID-19 y revisar el potencial para cambiar el futuro de la educación musical. Este estudio se ha realizado mediante entrevistas a 36 docentes en activo de conservatorios de todas las comunidades autónomas de España. Los hallazgos muestran las dificultadas la enseñanza durante el confinamiento, la complejidad para virtualizar asignaturas de práctica instrumental, que esta se ha realizado en parte con recursos de los profesores, y que la competencia digital de los docentes genera comentarios diversos.
