[Anna E. Kijas]

The MEI Digital Pedagogy Interest Group invites proposals for an online, open-access, peer-reviewed resource showcasing pedagogical use cases of MEI and music encoding more generally. We seek “music encoding” initiatives across the full spectrum of instruction in archives, library work, and music studies to demonstrate how we teach music encoding, how it can be used to help us answer specific research questions, and how to make it more accessible to students and instructors. We are interested in contributions that include, but are not limited to, lesson plans, instructional materials, short essays, tutorials, and examples drawn from existing projects.

“The Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) is a community-driven, open-source effort to define a system for encoding musical documents in a machine-readable structure. MEI brings together specialists from various music research communities, including technologists, librarians, historians, and theorists in a common effort to define best practices for representing a broad range of musical documents and structures.”

 

Topics and Themes

We are interested in contributions that explore a variety of pedagogical topics and themes including, but not limited to, the following:

• How can instructors incorporate music encoding in the classroom to explore specific types of music research questions? For example, questions may be related to aspects of western and non-western musics, performance, or use of analytical or computational methods;
• Project use cases that highlight specific applications of music encoding, including challenges or failures, as well as success stories;
• Approaches to teaching music encoding in asynchronous and online learning environments;
• Incorporating musical examples by women and underrepresented composers into music encoding pedagogy;
• Foundational knowledge and skills needed before undertaking music encoding work;
• Methods for teaching and promoting music encoding amongst peers outside of the classroom setting
