Samuel Wright is the International Baccalaureate Diploma Music Coordinator at the International School of The Hague, a CBI Trainer, Composer, Orchestrator & Author.

Samuel featured on Episode 2 of the MTIIS podcast where we spoke about his background and music technology in general. We welcome Samuel back to the show a couple of years later to specifically look at his brand new book: 'Music Technology Pathways: understanding music technology at all stages of learning'.

If you are a music teacher that struggles with technologyisn't sure where to start, is sick of buying hardware/software and never using it, then this book is for you!

Samuel has been testing the pathways for 10+ years in classrooms in Australia, South Korea, Austria and The Netherlands, and the team at Musical Futures International has been using the framework with teachers at their professional learning events. The results have been incredible!

In this episode, we explore:

  • 'why' Samuel felt it was necessary to create the 10 Music Technology Pathways.
  • A potential definition of each pathway.
  • how teachers can use the pathways for their own learning.
  • various strategies and approaches for introducing the pathways in primary, middle and high school settings.
  • The use of the Frayer model for developing definitions, terminology and key understandings around music technology.
  • Some success stories from students and teachers who have used the pathways.
  • What's ahead for the Music Technology Pathways book and framework

Please do check out the links below! There is so much gold right there.
