Join the 2025 DIME Working Group
17th January 2025
DIME is an alliance of organisations and individual practitioners committed to raising awareness of innovative digital technologies for the benefit of children and young people’s music education and learning. It was launched by AMP, Music Mark, Music for Youth, TiME (Technology in Music Education) and Wiltshire Music Connect in 2021. Together, the alliance works to highlight and engage with new products or services, new processes or practices, the evolution of what is already happening, opportunities from other sectors, and the possibility for new business models.
In June 2024, we ran the inaugural DIME Conference, bringing together experts from music education and beyond to explore how you can lead the way in digital innovation in music education.
We are excited to invite advocates for the power of digital innovation in music education to join the working group.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for individuals who are keen advocates for the power of digital innovation in music education. This includes people who may not see themselves as experts but are enthusiastic and committed to finding out more; colleagues who are not afraid to try radical new approaches in the technology space and are excited to help the DIME group programme potential events, training and content to encourage the Music Mark membership and wider music education ecology to consider how they can innovate too.
We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals from groups that are currently underrepresented in the Music Technology space, including but not limited to people of marginalised genders, disabled people and individuals from the global majority.
What’s the commitment?
The DIME alliance meets once termly for approximately one hour online. In the run-up to a large event, meetings may be slightly longer or more frequent, but this will be led by the group with administrative and event management support from the Music Mark team.
