more about MET-TMOHE
The conference organisation team has ensured that the conference spans 4 sessions and so that these are timed in a way that makes it convenient for colleagues all around the world to participate.
Our delegates are music and music education researchers and pedagogues who look to harness technology to support music education and practice, and overall innovations to support music technology and education.
Teaching Music Online in Higher Education is an ONLINE research-informed conference on the practice of teaching music online at the Higher Ed/ tertiary levels. The official TMOHE conference website is: teachingmusiconlineinhighered.com. We seek to address aligned topics and challenges faced by teachers, students and school leaders. Researchers, practitioners, and graduate students interested, and/or engaged in how to teach or perform music online, and best practices for teaching and performing music online are invited to join in the conversations and/or present their research in the area. Our delegates come from across the globe to gather together and share their ideas and vision for creating effective and meaningful online music learning and performance for students.
The Sempre MET conference (#sempreMET), now in its 12th year, is a biannual conference that aims to provide opportunities for students, early career researchers and colleagues to present and discuss ideas in a friendly and supportive environment, as well as to provide a meeting point for academics, scholars, teachers, and practitioners who are seeking to form connections and synergies with participants from around the world.
MET aims to celebrate technology's challenging role(s) and provide a platform for critical discourse and the presentation of scholarly work in the broader fields of digital technologies in:
music composition and creation
music performance
music production (recording, studio work, archival and/or communication of music)
diverse musical genres (e.g. popular, classical, world, etc.)
creativity/ies
real world praxial contexts (e.g. classroom, studio, etc.)
assessment of musical development and/or assessment of performance
computational musicology
music and Big Data (a special call for chapters for an edited OUP VOLUME will be posted soon)
the music industry
special educational contexts/needs
music, health and wellbeing
music, LEGO® and/or maker culture

Keynote Speakers
Professor Peter Webster, University of Southern California, U.S.A.
Title: Big Ideas in Music Teaching and Learning: Implications for Online Learning
This talk will begin with a short summary of big ideas that support music teaching and learning pedagogy in 2022. These ideas will be framed by social issues but also musical ones as we move forward in teaching music in the 21st century. Implications of these big ideas for online instruction and music technology will be suggested. Specific examples of current and future development will be offered as a basis for discussion.
Peter R. Webster is currently Scholar-in-Residence at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and is a Professor Emeritus of Music Education at the Bienen School of Music, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He holds degrees in music education from the University of Southern Maine (BS) and the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester (MM, PhD). He has taught for over 50 years at various levels of instruction. Webster was the 2014 recipient of the Senior Researcher Award from the Society of Research in Music Education of the National Association for Music Education. He is co-author of Experiencing Music Technology, 4th edition Updated (Oxford University Press, 2022). He has presented at many state, national, and international meetings and is a frequent keynote speaker. His published work includes over 100 articles and book chapters on music technology and creative thinking in music which have appeared in journals and handbooks in and outside of music.
Professor Emily Howard, Royal Northern College of Music, U.K.
Title: PRiSM Collaborations: harnessing technology to support music composition and research
In this talk, I will introduce some of the ongoing research collaborations and student-led projects developing through the Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music (PRiSM) at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. Focuses will include creative projects involving the use of PRiSM SampleRNN, a software tool developed by PRiSM which uses machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to generate audio, as well as those linking mathematics with music.
Professor Emily Howard holds a Personal Chair in Composition at the RNCM and is Director of PRiSM, the RNCM Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music. Howard’s music is commissioned, performed and broadcast all over the world. Her work is known for its inventive connections with mathematical shapes and processes: Antisphere – the latest addition to Howard’s ongoing series of orchestral geometries – was commissioned by the Barbican for Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), and opened the 2019-20 season. Her music is the focus of a NMC composer portrait disc, Magnetite. BBC Radio 3’s Record Review noted that the scientific ideas were ‘brilliantly articulated’ throughout the collection.
Industry Keynote Speakers
Hans Lavdal Jakobsen
Title: Keeping aural training and sight-singing students motivated with the interactive app EarMaster
Teaching aural training and sight-singing online brings about two major challenges: How do we keep students motivated? And while doing so, how do we retain a high level of tuition quality? This presentation will demonstrate how the app EarMaster can help reach both aims effectively.
Hans Lavdal Jakobsen, M.Sc. Robotics, Founder and CEO of EarMaster. With his engineering background in robotics from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and his passion for playing Classical and Jazz music, Hans Lavdal Jakobsen developed the idea of EarMaster back in the mid-90’s. Until recently, he had been the lead developer of the EarMaster software, but he now focuses almost exclusively on leading the EarMaster company towards its vision to make the perfect tool for Musicianship tuition. Hans plays the piano, mainly jazz and gospel music, and plays at various Gospel events in the area where he lives.
Taylor Robinson
Title: Finally! Play Together. From Anywhere.
An exploration into the cutting edge technology of ultra-low latency web conferencing. Platforms are now emerging that claim to have finally solved an age-old problem in music education… How do we play together when we can’t be together? In this keynote, we’ll discuss what this field of technology is, how it works, what can be expected of it, and what may be its current limitation. We’ll look briefly into its past and into its exciting future – a landscape that combines the internet of things, edge computing, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence in a way that may bring us closer together as musicians than we’d ever dreamed.
Taylor Robinson is a CEO, CTO, and serial entrepreneur in the field of music education technology. After founding Taylor RobinsonMusic, America’s first “Uber for Music Lessons”, and growing its marketplace to contract with over 20,000 instructors, Taylor spun off its proprietary web conferencing platform to start a new company. RealTime Audio, with its unique “Zoom for Musicians” app, came loaded with a number of features and functions specifically relevant to music ed. Most importantly, it would crack the code on ultra-low-latency audio processing, enabling musicians the ability to finally play remotely, over webcam, as if they were in the very same room together. Today, Taylor is actively involved in running both companies. He continues to speak, advocate, evangelize and educate on the topic of music ed, technology, and how they will come to shape our lives, art, and work far into the future.
