Interdisciplinary education and digital literacy are becoming increasingly important in schools, especially in primary education, as these skills are essential for preparing students for future challenges. The DigCompEdu Framework emphasizes the necessity for educators to integrate digital tools into their teaching to enhance creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking (European Commission, 2017). However, many educators struggle to implement these concepts effectively within existing curricula, as highlighted by Kennisnet (2024) in their analysis of how digital literacy can be embedded into existing subjects.

To address this challenge, “Resonance,” an innovative online platform, was developed in the 2023-2024 academic year to enhance students’ musical expression through technology and interdisciplinary learning. Resonance empowers primary education students to create soundtracks for films and animations, transforming them from passive media consumers into active creators. By doing so, it fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and self-expression while encouraging students to explore meaningful themes and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Resonance stands out for its integration of multiple functionalities into a thematic teaching environment tailored to contemporary music education. Its impact is evident through collaborations with Cultuurtraject KCR, reaching over 6,000 students annually, and the Nemo Science Museum, which recently integrated a Resonance-based sound design space. Partnerships with Film Fest Gent and FMF Kraków further highlight its international recognition.

In this workshop, participants will explore how to integrate Resonance into their teaching by creating a collaborative soundtrack within an interdisciplinary teaching environment. They will work hands-on with the platform’s sequencer and editing studio, gaining practical tools to foster digital literacy and creativity. The session supports the conference themes of Emerging Technologies and Interdisciplinary Methods, while also serving as a platform for exchanging ideas and practices to further align Resonance.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops and headphones to fully engage in the interactive elements.

The workshop will present a web application, "Solfy," https://4solfy.com/, to promote singing and strengthen the literacy process, helping teachers and students in music education. The program includes technological innovations in voice synthesis and analysis based on AI and machine learning, along with elements for learning the musical language proposed in the past by Dalcroze, Orff, and Kodály.

It includes a path for teachers and another one for students. It results from six years of research and development. The interface is in Hebrew, English, and Romanian, and we are considering expanding the translations and adding other languages. It includes a Song Unit (in Hebrew, English, Romanian, Slovak, and Latin—more songs from the children's folklore from different countries to come), a Solfege Unit, and a Theory Drills Unit.

The program can "sing" songs with natural voices or solfège with synthesized voice sounds, record the user singing, compare the result with the original, and give feedback in a traditional music score. Successful recordings are prized with pleasant accompaniments, points, and virtual assets. The teacher can remotely monitor and coordinate students' activities to offer help.

In the modern period, when the education process should be more centered on the student's needs, a new perspective on vocal singing in primary classes is needed. Such a non-existent possibility in the past is now offered to students with the option of individual and personalized practice with immediate feedback and evaluation at home. Undoubtedly, adding individual studies based on modern methods carried out outside of class hours will save time and increase the efficiency of the educational process.

Implementing the program in school will help democratize music education, promote accessibility and inclusion, and tailor the participants' activities so everyone can engage meaningfully.
