Musicators

Sometimes the distinctions between musicing and musicating become blurred. Musicing is making music and music making, while musicating is learning and teaching music. Ideally the teaching and learning cycle is achieved through making music, and technology enhances that process, making musication an act of creating and through the creating, learning takes place. In other we learn when we create, and creating is a way of making meaning in our lives.

Digital technology provides a means to establishing musicing as learning and teaching. This is a simultaneous process and the dichotomy between teaching and learning, teachers and learners dissolves into creative energy and interchange.

Watching this process emerge as musicers gain power iover the technology is fascinating. Creative music technology has a way of dissolving polarities, dissolving products and objects into process.

Wow, this article really resonated with me! It's so true that sometimes we get caught up in the definitions of things like "musicing" and "musicating," but at the end of the day, it's all about creating and learning through music. The idea that teaching and learning can blend seamlessly through making music is so powerful, especially with the help of technology. I love how digital tools are breaking down barriers between teachers and learners, turning musication into a collaborative and creative journey. Can't wait to see where this fusion of music and technology takes us next!
