The present study sought to address this gap by examining the use of and attitudes toward technology in the one-to-one learning and teaching of music performance.

The master-apprentice model of instrumental teaching can give the impression of an environment resistant to technological innovation ( Creech and Gaunt, 2012 Gaunt, 2017). However, the attention given to understanding how and where technology is being used in music classroom settings has not been applied to the same extent in one-to-one teaching environments. Music education is no exception, seeing significant study and growth and building upon general trends of technology use in the modern classroom ( Purves, 2012 Sweeney et al., 2017). This is particularly true in the domain of music, where technology has become a presence, if not a requirement, in musical creation, production, expression, dissemination, promotion, and consumption ( Hugill, 2012). The expansion of technology within society is a defining feature of the twenty-first century, revolutionizing how people work, learn, communicate, and spend their leisure time. Our results highlight opportunities for technology to take a greater role in improving music learning through enhanced student-teacher interaction and by facilitating self-regulated learning. Despite this comfort with and access to new technology, availability reported within one-to-one lessons was half of that within practice sessions, and while a large percentage of musicians actively recorded their playing, these recordings were not frequently reviewed.

Musicians' self-rated skills with smartphones, laptops, and desktop computers were found to extend beyond traditional audio and video recording devices, and the majority of musicians reported using classic music technologies (e.g., metronomes and tuners) on smartphones and tablets rather than bespoke devices. Results showed a generally positive attitude toward current and future technology use among musicians and supported the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), wherein technology use in music learning was predicted by perceived ease of use via perceived usefulness.

Data were collected from an international cohort of 338 amateur, student, and professional musicians ranging widely in age, specialism, and musical experience. Do musicians take their technology use into the practice room and teaching studio, or does the traditional nature of the master-apprentice teaching model promote different attitudes among musicians toward their use of technology in learning to perform? To investigate these issues, we developed the Technology Use and Attitudes in Music Learning Survey, which included adaptations of Davis's 1989 scales for Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use of Technology. While the expansion of technologies into the music education classroom has been studied in great depth, there is a lack of published literature regarding the use of digital technologies by students learning in individual settings. 2Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.1Centre for Performance Science, Royal College of Music, London, United Kingdom.
