This year has seen a huge surge in interest and confidence in online music learning, prompted by the covid-19 pandemic, as well as accelerated innovation both in music education practice and in digital technology.

Connect: Resound has been exploring the use of digital technology to increase access to instrumental lessons and live music experiences for over 6 years, working with schools, Music Education Hubs, arts organisations and professionals across the UK. And during the first phase of the pandemic we provided free CPD training to over 3000 individuals in the sector who were making the switch to online.

The festival will have four themed strands:

• Teaching music online
• Making music online
• Creating and curating online music experiences
• The future of online music education
