Diverse Music Education Insights

The authors of this paper have been involved in the setting up, development and teaching of the U.K.'s first postgraduate Music Technology course at the University of York. Ironically neither author was permitted to study both the component subjects (music and technology) at secondary school due to the manner in which the school timetables separated these apparently 'non-related' subjects. This paper explains the ways in which technology, music and computing can be very closely related from a higher education perspective. It is hoped that it may be of equal interest to musicians and technologists working within institutes at various levels in the educational hierarchy, and may be instrumental in encouraging collaboration between them.
