How long will it be before we refer to instruments, not as electric, but as digital? The Gibson digital guitar maybe the start of the trend. The fact that the guitar is digital is interesting, but the possibilities that exist due to its design are more so. If students were to begin using digital guitars in the music classroom how would we shift our teaching to take full advantage of the digital design? Joe Abramo recently posed some interesting questions regarding teaching traditional techniques due to advances in technology and how it is used in creating music. While many music programs are still focused on teaching traditional western European acoustic instruments, I’m sure we are going to see more and more electronic instruments being added to school music programs besides the traditional keyboards and guitars over time. At what point will the resources available and the advances they offer play a role in our pedagogy?
