Can the use of social media help music education empower students? This chapter takes a critical view of common myths regarding social media and discusses their implications for music education. The chapter argues that great caution should be taken in formal music education to avoid paying for access to this technology with students’ privacy. In an age where everyone with a smartphone who does not take precautions is monitored 24/7 by app makers and makers of operating systems, it is important that music education takes an ethical stand regarding how such tools should be used. The chapter ends on a hopeful tone, recommending that we employ the Swedish concept of lagom to make wise choices in the matter and let students learn and share while, at the same time, be empowered by technology.
