Globally accessible digital music academy
The open digital platform "Open Music Academy" (OMA) is now available free of charge to anyone interested in music. The platform for Open Educational Resources (OER) in the field of music is offered by the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts (HMTM).
According to the HMTM press release, the Open Music Academy combines the idea of Open Educational Resources, which has had an influence on the development of German and international higher education, with comprehensive music education. The OER platform thus meets current requirements in learning and teaching and promotes new forms of collaboration and innovation in music education. At the same time, it offers space for impulses and discourse on a wide range of topics from the entire world of music.
Interested parties will find support for arranging music, educational material for teaching music in school classes, learning aids for practicing or for working with audio and video technology as well as other tools for preparing learning materials (for example a PDF viewer, soon an interactive video player, multi-track audio player and much more). Potentially, materials of all kinds can be added, such as interviews, lectures, music examples and more.
