Abstract

Education is the only key that can unlock the door of development not only for any country, society but also for each and every individual. Only through education students get opportunities to develop their potentialities and contribute for the development of nation. It is said that India is a country of youth. So education system plays a vital role to produce productive youth. In education system students have to learn many subjects. In all those subjects Music is very important. Here it should be cleared that music is not only a subject but also an art, a language of emotions. Through Music everyone can express every feeling very well. Music is known as “Gurumukhi Kala.” Today’s changing scenario when we are talking about beyond face to face mode of education in simple words online education, it’s quite appropriate way of teaching-learning process but in the context of music we see some specific challenges like internet connectivity breaks laya and talas during class, every student can’t afford smartphone or system, a teacher can’t set student’s sitting position, their finger’s position etc. There is no personal relation among students and between teachers and students and many other challenges also. In spite of having all these challenges there are some opportunities for students who can’t go to school, who can’t meet experts and artists, who are unable to pay high fee, who are working somewhere else etc. For such type of students online education (beyond face to face mode of education) is just like a bless. In short beyond face to face mode of education has some challenges and opportunities just like other modes of education but in the present scenario this mode of education is the demand of time. The only thing that should be kept in mind that always use technology wisely and in an appropriate way.
