Research Topic: Open Topic: Music Educational Technology
Suggested By: Jason Bernard
Last Update: January 22nd, 2026

Much research has been done on educational technology for diverse scholarly disciplines; however, musical educational remains an area underexplored. This research is open to suggestions from the student for any research on educational technology for musical education.


 


Some possible broad areas:


- How can existing educational technology be applied to musical education?


- What is unique about musical education that requires special consideration and how does this affect student modelling?


- How can AI, e.g. machine learning, be used for musical education?


This research is open for essay, project, and thesis route students. If this is of interest to you, then please reach out with a short summary of your idea.


Students should probably have some knowledge of music, but this is not a strict requirement if the research can be done without such knowledge.
