ABSTRACT

For the purpose of this discussion music technology refers to any existing or emerging digital device or tools, the use of hardware and/or software and/or web-based applications in any way to support learning about, the creation of, the sharing of, or the performance of music. This draws directly upon the work of Himonides, who suggests that we view music technology from a meta-perspective

as a means of enabling us to become better musicians; understand music and/or the wider impact that music has on our lives and ongoing development; record, capture, experience, study, create, compose, document, analyse, and archive sound and music (and) enhance the teaching and learning experience in the music classroom.
