On 2 December 2024 I gave three workshops at HfMT Köln’s Thementag on AI and music education. The handouts covered data protection, AI tools for students, and AI in teaching. This post is the argument behind them — focused on the curriculum question that none of the tools answer on their own: what should change, and what should not?
A third post in the networked music performance series. Technical latency is solved. Institutional infrastructure has a name. What students actually learn — and what conservatoire curricula consistently get wrong about teaching it — turns out to be a different problem entirely.
A follow-up to the August 2023 latency post. The numbers were fine. The hard part turned out to be everything else: governance, maintenance, invisible labour, and why most Digital Music Labs quietly die after the grant ends.
