Abstract

Connect: Resound is an ongoing project supporting music for schools in England with limited access to teachers and instruments. This field report focuses on the ways in which online technology in Connect: Resound is used to facilitate lessons. It is based on a study split into two phases: an initial pilot study with one music hub, followed by a further study in collaboration with four Music Education Hubs in England. The initial pilot was done in collaboration with North Yorkshire Music Education Hub, situated in the largest county in England, and delivered in two separate cohorts. Seven teachers and 73 pupils (key stage 2, 1 aged 8-11 years) participated in the pilot. The project was a collaboration between the North Yorkshire Music Action Zone (NYMAZ), UCan Play, and researchers at the University of Hull. This partnership was facilitated by a large grant from the Nesta Digital Research and Design Fund, which ran from 2014 to 2016.
