PRESTO - A Pan-European Collaborative Project to Respond to the Challenges of On-Line Music Teaching
A 5-strong project consortium led by the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Academy has been awarded a significant funding of ~270.000€ through the Erasmus+ ‘Strategic Partnerships Call in Response to Covid-19’.
The two-year long project called ‘PRESTO: Practices and Resources for Equipping Schools to Teach Music Online’ started on the last week of April, 2021. The consortium will develop multimedia resources and best-practice guidance for remote music teaching in the school sector in the areas of classroom-based music, instrumental music, and choral music.
