Music Education with Digital Technology

This book draws together a range of innovative practices, underpinned by theoretical insight, to clarify musical practices of relevance to the changing nature of schooling and the transformation of music education and addresses a pressing need to provide new ways of thinking about the application of music and technology in schools. The contributors covers a diverse and wide-range of technology, environments and contexts on topics that demonstrate and recognize new possibilities for innovative work in education, exploring teaching strategies and approaches that stimulate different forms of musical experience, meaningful engagement, musical learning, creativity and teacher-learner interactions, responses, monitoring and assessment.
