In today’s constantly changing digital environment, schools are increasingly adopting innovative technologies to enhance students’ learning experiences. In this research-to-resource article, I present a model for technology-integrated instruction of culturally diverse musics that aligns with the National Core Music Standards for secondary music classes. I first address the role of technology in relation to music curricula, and then provide practical strategies and ideas for technology-integrated instruction of culturally diverse musics. Finally, I suggest important considerations for teaching culturally diverse musics with technology.
