During the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected the way in which music is taught and learned due to its special nature when imparted. This situation, however, has also highlighted the contribution that music can make to people’s wellbeing, benefits that have been gravely endangered by the cessation of normal musical activity.The objective of the PRESTO project (Practices and Resources for Equipping Schools to Teach Music Online) is to chart a path forward for the continuation of music education through and beyond this crisis, aiming at developing resources for teachers in the school sector to help in on-line music teaching. The PRESTO consortium is formed by 2 HEIs (Liszt Academy – the consortium leader and the Dublin City University School of Theology, Philosophy and Music), 2 choral organizations (Sing Ireland and the National Youth Choir of Scotland) and a private enterprise from Finland specialized in remote instrumental teaching called Caprice Oy.
All the outcomes will be shared globally via Kodály HUB online knowledge center, which was produced in an earlier Erasmus + Strategic Partnership project. The outputs will be distributed and disseminated through the extensive educational and choral networks of the project partners.
