Resumo:Contemporary musical teaching involves learning and using digital technologies. Online and synchronous classes can make use of web conferencing platforms, already solidified in the market. However, the audio codecs of these platforms are focused on speech transmission and standard configurations can harm the transmission of musical content. The main objective of this work is to carry out a survey of seven web conferencing platforms and evaluate the audio transmission quality of these software, focusing on the audio quality provided for use in online music classes. Results showed that most platforms do not transmit musical content satisfactorily, mainly because they focus on the transmission of speech. Two platforms stood out in this study and were considered suitable for music teaching, Webex and Zoom, both with specific settings for music streaming. It is hoped that this study can help educators in the appropriate choice of technological resources for online music classes.
