Course Overview
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how music is created, produced, and taught. From generative music tools to AI-powered tutoring systems, educators are beginning to see both the opportunities and challenges these technologies bring. In this five-part professional development course, Dr. Jim Frankel, founder of MusicFirst, explores the impact of AI on music education and demonstrates how teachers can use AI tools to enhance learning, creativity, and assessment. Rather than replacing teachers, AI can serve as a powerful assistant that supports lesson planning, differentiation, and student engagement. This course helps music educators understand how AI works, what tools are available today, and how to guide students in using these technologies responsibly. This course awards a certificate for 6 hours of Professional Developement.
