Abstract

The use of ICTs is part of the Greek State School learning process. According to the new Era that Education faces globally, Greek Education has employed New Technologies as a significant learning tool. Their value is connected with the evaluation system of the Greek educational process, incorporated as a tool for self-evaluation and evaluation from peers, or for evaluating students by teachers, or even for school marking. (167603/ΓΔ4/9-12-20) The experience from the pandemic year proved that new technologies were the main way to continue teaching in all educational levels. (Zioga, 2021) But how can teaching the piano be combined with the use of new technologies? This article will endeavour to give an answer to this question. It will present the teaching material created for combining the Webex e-learning platform with eclass platform tools. It will show the connection of this material to the piano curriculum according to the level of the students that were involved. Finally it will show the results to the students’ progress and propose new educational practices for piano teaching in Music State Schools.
