The phenomena of "media technology", "computer technology" in a pedagogical retrospective are considered. The main types and varieties of media technologies are highlighted and their features are characterized. Distinguishing features and capabilities of modern computer and media technologies are studied. It is noted that for the organization of a high-quality distance learning process of music, it is not the computer or media technology itself that is important, but the extent to which its use ensures the achievement of educational goals and objectives.

The positive experience of using free online platforms, services, applications, auxiliary programs, multimedia editors for creating educational content for teaching music is presented.
