TI:ME

Get Certified in TI:ME

For music educators who maybe aren't so sure of how to go about incorporating technology into the classroom, or want to learn more about different ways to go about it, there is TI:ME.

Technology for Music Education, or, TI:ME, is a program developed to teach music educators how to efficiently and effectively utilize technology in the classroom. Created at Villanova University in 1995, TI:ME has since offered in person and online courses that specialize in different areas, such as music notation, recording, composition, and more.

TI:ME's formal mission is:

1. To codify music technology into a cohesive set of standards
2. To develop a certification process to recognize the achievement of in-service music teachers in music technology
3. To develop an organization, national in scope and focused on the subject of teacher training in music technology

There are two levels of certification one must complete in order to become TI:ME certified, however, there are also alternative options for those who possess some technology training or proficiency. Students can complete their training online or in person at a school or conference, work with peers or other instructors. Overall there is a lot of flexibility.

Course fees for each level are $150.

This is an excellent resource for educators looking for a collaborative and supportive way to learn a new skill to better advance their classroom!
