Doctoral programs in music education typically require a multiyear residency with an expected career trajectory leading to higher education. However, with low-residency online programs (LROPs) increasingly available, graduates may choose to remain in P–12 education. In this collaborative autoethnography, we examined our stories as four P–12 teachers who earned doctorates through a LROP. We framed learning as a pathway into a community of practice wherein an individual navigates the professional landscape. There was a particular focus on how each teacher’s identity was shaped as we negotiated higher education and P–12 education worlds. We also considered the motivations behind pursuing a doctorate to provide insight about the needs of LROP graduates with a foot in both worlds.

Considering the recent COVID-19 pandemic, online education has had a significant surge in popularity. And it’s not just online English schools or fitness courses, but also full-fledged higher education programs. Some experts predict that soon all universities will move to our tablets and laptops. Of course, if surgeons and nuclear physicists get their qualifications while sitting at home, a disaster will surely happen. However, there are several professions that can now be mastered remotely without any quality loss. The article also deals with the problems of studying in Europe. Here we try to introduce all the advantages of German universities and students’ life if they leave their home and come to study in Germany.
