“…This study intended to reveal the main demands that would steer the method of guitar teaching in the future. Hietanen et al (2016) found that educators must acknowledge and appreciate formal, informal and non-formal learning environments and experiences in music education and value all kinds of music equally. This sets the groundwork for this study.…”

“…The purpose of this study was to develop a prototype model of blended learning that can be adapted to teaching and learning to play the guitar in a student teacher program. Hietanen et al (2016) studied and mapped the possibilities of developing the faculty's music curriculum, which set up the groundwork for this study. This study focused on how students think blended learning should be organized in teaching and learning to play guitar.…”

This study focused on the challenges that students face during the early state of learning to play the guitar. Based on those challenges, a model of blended learning was developed, which provides a solution to how to organize teaching and answer students' diverse needs with the aim of encouraging our students to take advantage of blended learning environments and styles. Data were gathered with semi-structured theme interviews. The most critical factors in organizing teaching and designing a blended learning guitar course fell into four categories: Instrument specific challenges, heterogeneous group, learning facilities and course structure, and motivation. The results added depth to knowledge of previous studies on e-learning. Students want to have an instrument in hand when they watch instructional videos online; otherwise, they are just watching videos without learning. This indicates a need to define the concept of autonomous learning more specifically. When and where exactly is it supposed to happen? Results of the relationship between face-toface lessons and e-learning were in line with earlier research, in which both were seen to support each other.

Digitalization has become a part of Finnish education from elementary schools to universities. Additionally, students have begun to participate in university administration, thus participating in course development and design. Blended learning has arrived on the education scene, providing solutions on how to create e-learning environments and how to make them useful for students as well as teachers. The purpose of this research is to study the possibilities and challenges of e-learning environments in student teachers' piano courses. What is the position of e-learning environments compared to face-to-face or contact lessons? We want to know where students go to get information about piano playing and how students perceive autonomous learning, guided autonomous learning, and group contact lessons. The data was gathered from a large group lesson, from piano lessons in groups of different sizes, and from students' assignments where they reflected on the relationship between e-learning environments and contact lessons for the development of their piano playing and musicianship. The e-learning environments had good design and content; however, students pointed out that it is important to possess some musical skills in order to fully benefit from these environments. Students need to be instructed on the benefits of and how to use e-learning platforms and blended learning to enhance their knowledge and skills through independent learning.

“…During communication with students, teachers should respect students' attitudes, and keep the objective and strict teaching style to cultivate students' enthusiasm and initiative (Price, 2012). Students gradually establish active questioning, active thinking, and active learning attitude (Hietanen, Ruokonen, Ruismäki, & Enbuska, 2016).…”
