Roland and Musical Futures International Bring Hands-On Electronic Music Education to Classrooms with the Roland ASPIRE Project

Bangkok: Roland Corporation and Musical Futures International today announce the Roland ASPIRE Project, a research-informed electronic music education programme designed to support hands-on music-making using tactile, accessible hardware in real classroom settings. Developed for teachers from a wide range of musical backgrounds, the programme prioritises practical music-making over prior technical knowledge. The project is currently active in Bangkok, Melbourne, and Singapore.

According to Nam News Network, the Roland ASPIRE Project aims to democratise music education by providing educators with the tools and resources needed to facilitate engaging music-making experiences. By focusing on practical application rather than theoretical knowledge, the programme seeks to empower teachers and students alike to explore electronic music in a hands-on manner. The initiative's expansion to various cities highlights its growing relevance and potential impact on music education.
