Music Conducting Pedagogy and Technology: A Descriptive Review of Literature

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This literature review intends to describe the relationship between technological developments and the teaching of music conducting techniques considering that musical gestures are one of the most important aspects since they inform the music's form, articulation, and overall expressiveness of the music. Research articles were purposefully selected to collect information about how current technologies such as smartphone applications, virtual reality, robots, and artificial intelligence (AI) are being or not incorporated into the teaching of music conducting. I used the constant comparative approach to perform this review, including synthesizing and interpreting the selected research articles. Results suggest that technology developers continue to explore models to substitute human-to-human interaction regarding the teaching of music conducting partially. Nevertheless, the diverse possibilities explored are still waiting to become actual tools available in music-conducting teaching settings.
