The Use of ICT Tools in Training Future Music Teachers to Conduct Distance Learning for Primary School Students

The implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) plays a crucial role in preparing future music teachers for effective distance education of primary school students. ICT facilitates the collection, processing, storage, and transmission of information, enabling a structured and engaging delivery of music instruction tailored to the cognitive and developmental needs of young learners. This study examines the role of ICT tools in equipping future music teachers with the necessary skills and resources to conduct distance learning for primary school students and categorizes these tools into educational platforms, social networks, additional resources, and specialized software. The research employs surveys and content analysis to assess the effectiveness of ICT in enhancing accessibility, engagement, and instructional quality for primary school students. Findings indicate that Educational Platforms support structured learning processes, while social networks foster interactive engagement between teachers and young students. Additional resources, including museum and theater websites and media stock platforms, provide essential supplementary content suited for children's music education. Specialized software, such as audio editors, sequencers, virtual instruments, video editors, and screen recording tools, enables future teachers to create age-appropriate, interactive music learning materials. This study concludes that ICT is an essential component in preparing future music teachers for effective distance instruction of primary school students. Strengthening digital competence and expanding ICT resources will enhance the quality of music education, ensuring meaningful and engaging learning experiences for young learners.
