The COVID-19 crisis brings with it many challenges but also opportunities for audio educators. With restricted access to physical studios and equipment, instructors have had to adapt and find new ways to prepare students for careers in the music industry. But rather than just lament what has been lost, it is also a chance to re-examine our approaches and look for new ways to take advantage of advances in technology and communications.

This panel of educators from universities on three continents will examine the potential for educators to work together towards improvements in music industry education that can provide benefits in the long term well beyond the current crisis.
