This thesis studies the solutions related to music technology used in music education by music teachers and classroom teachers who teach music. The goal of this thesis is to map the technology used in music teaching in addition to music technology applications in use and discuss the reasons for their use. This qualitative study has been carried out using method and material triangulation. The material consists of three interviews and two surveys. Music teachers' use of technology in teaching was investigated through semi-structured thematic interviews, open-ended and multiple-choice questionnaires. The interviewees were two classroom teachers and a middle school special education teacher. The questionnaires were answered by music subject teachers and class teachers. The analysis of the data was performed inductively-deductively using data-oriented and theory-driven content analysis. Due to the limitation of the data, the results can only be considered indicative. The results illustrate well the incompleteness of the implementation of the digital leap in elementary and middle school music education. Based on the results, music technology is used in different ways in teaching. Teachers' training, available resources, personal interest in the subject and finding suitable programs affect the use of technology in teaching. Four different technology-using teacher profiles can be derived from the data: conservative, experimental, multimodal and technology- and application-oriented teacher.
