Module 1: Frequently Asked Questions on the EDI Guidelines (FAQs)

The EDI Guidelines serves as a support system for teaching music with digital tools. They provide films, method exercises, and "field observations" based on real-world classroom cycles. Because the field of digital music is in constant change, these guidelines are an evolving resource meant to inspire rather than dictate a "recipe" for success.
