Innovation
What happens when a teacher starts building tools.
Education, music, technology and story, approached with a scientist's habit of asking what principle explains a thing.
Every tool Nimai has built or explored began as a recurring problem in a real lesson, a real rehearsal or a real organisation. Technology interests him only when it removes a barrier between a person and the thing they are trying to do.
That is the same principle as his teaching. Technique exists to clear the path between intention and expression; good technology should do no more and no less.
Areas of interest
Where the thinking goes
Educational technology
Making the invisible parts of learning visible, so that students and teachers can see what is working.
AI-assisted creativity
A hands-on, working relationship with artificial intelligence across composition, writing, teaching and running an organisation.
Music technology
Tools that serve musicianship rather than replace it, from the studio to the practice room.
Interactive learning
Learning that responds to the learner, built on the psychology set out in Learn How To Learn.
Systems thinking
Frameworks, models and step-by-step systems, refined until they can be explained simply and handed to someone else.
Original intellectual property
Ideas developed slowly, tested in practice and owned outright.
A working principle
Build the thing the lesson keeps asking for.
Ideas are developed slowly, tested in practice and shared when they are ready. Partners and collaborators working in education, music or technology are welcome to start a conversation.
