Prof. Dr. Marc Godau serves as Professor and Head of the Institute for Talent Research in Music (IBFM) at the University of Paderborn, while also acting as Speaker for Empirical music education with special consideration of school and pop cultural contexts. His academic work bridges music pedagogy with digital cultural studies, focusing on how contemporary technologies reshape musical practices and education.
Godau's research centers on post-digital music education, critically examining algorithmic influences on creative processes, platform-mediated music practices (particularly TikTok and Instagram), and the sociomaterial dimensions of informal learning. He challenges traditional 'liveness norms' in music education that marginalize digital and popular cultural forms, advocating for pedagogical approaches that embrace cultural diversity and technological innovation in both school and informal settings.
Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on digital transformation in music education, with recent work exploring YouTube tutorials, app-based music creation, and platform musicianship. His scholarship demonstrates how social media algorithms reshape songwriting subjectivity while highlighting tensions between institutional music education frameworks and emerging digital practices.
As Principal Investigator for the KuMuS-ProNeD project (Professional networks for digital innovations in teacher training for art, music and sports), Godau drives systemic change in educator development. His teaching portfolio includes forward-looking courses such as 'Making and learning music in (post)digital culture' and 'Musical & Educational Influencers – Music Education of the Future?', positioning him at the vanguard of reimagining music pedagogy for digital generations.
