Yesterday, the UK’s Society for Music Analysis and the music department at the University of Liverpool hosted a Study Day called Teaching Music Theory in the Digital Age. The day-long conference featured talks, recorded videos, and a keynote panel. I was on the panel at the end of the day, which featured several academics and YouTubers. It was a great conversation on the importance of social media, the format of video essays, diversity and inclusion in public music theory, textbooks and the design of curricula, and lots of other topics! I had a blast, and hope to do more events like this in the future.
The panel streamed live on YouTube, and you can watch an archived replay here. You can also find several of the pre-recorded video talks on the SMA website.
