Musicians work with, and around, various forms of technological media and resources. In today's professional environment, musicians face multifaceted work that may include teaching, performing, marketing, promoting, recording, or composing. The musician as entrepreneurial learner becomes a key focus for authenticity within their learning. Music educators, music professionals, and musicians of all ages need to navigate key career choices along their career paths which can be supported by authentic approaches to learning. This chapter explores how enterprise pedagogy and entrepreneurial pedagogy (i.e., authentic learning experiences) provide opportunities for students to reflect on, and prepare for, the likelihood of multiple jobs and roles in their upcoming career paths. Podcasting as an authentic learning tool is explored through the development of MusicWorks, a podcast series giving voice to the multiple career paths of industry and educational leaders in music.

The impact of the radio in the 1930s can be compared to the force of change in people's lives today caused by current technology. Marguerite V Hood (1903-92), a recognized leader in the music education profession during the 1930s, understood the importance of music education radio broadcasts for rural one-room schools and music education classes. In 1936, she began a series of broadcasts in an effort to reach all children in Montana and was appointed radio director for the KGVO Montana School of the Air program. Hood recognized the necessity of using contemporary resources in music education, a need that exists today. Music educators who offer learning experiences encompassing various music listening activities and musical styles through all types of media provide students with a rich, fertile environment for cultivating the understanding and appreciation of all music genres.

Abstract This qualitative study examined student perceptions regarding a hybrid classroom format in which part of their learning took place in a traditional classroom and part of their learning occurred in an online platform. Pre-course and post-course anonymous essays suggest that students may be open to learning in this context; however, they have specific concerns as well. Students raised issues regarding faculty communication patterns, learning styles, and the value of clear connections between online and traditional learning experiences. Student concerns and feedback need to be addressed through the course design and by the instructor in order for them to have a positive learning experience in a hybrid format course.
