Educators’ views on online/distance violin education at Covid-19 outbreak term

Abstract

Distance education studies, which are increasing in number of applications every day, have increased its importance especially with the Covid-19 outbreak. Although there are many sub-branches of distance education, it is divided into general lines as synchronous and asynchronous. Online/distance education studies, which are used in music education and instrument education, are used to improve students’ musical knowledge and skills. Thanks to the technology developed with online/distance instrument education as in other fields, it is desired to reach the targeted goal, skill, and acquisition in a shorter time, more permanently, easier and more economically. This research was carried out in order to determine the educator’s views on the use of online, video calling or other distance methods in violin education. The topic planned and started to be investigated before the Covid-19 outbreak. After the outbreak, this topic gained importance with the Covid-19 outbreak and even caused changes in the views of the educators. Interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The interview form formed in the semi-structured interview questions as a data collection tool was transferred to the online environment through “Google Forms” in order to reach the violin educators more easily. The study group of the research consists of thirteen educators who teach lessons to violin students aged seven and over working in different institutions. In addition to taking the opinions of the educators about online/distance violin education, it was also tried to determine the use of auxiliary apparatus and materials during violin education. As a result of the interviews, it is found that educators benefit from both innovative materials, internet websites and applications. Also determined that educators have positive and negative opinions about online/distance education but also think that the negativities can be eliminated with face to face education support.
