Experiencing Music Technology

By David Brian Williams, Peter Richard Webster, Peter Richard Webster

Book Overview

Experiencing Music Technology is a comprehensive introduction to the broad topic of music technology as it exists in contemporary practice across music making, music production, and music teaching and learning. Unlike other music technology books, EMT is designed not only as a major text for a course of study but also as a resource and reference guide for a wide audience of amateur, student, or professional musicians both inside and outside the academic setting. Although it is introductory in scope, it provides considerable depth of coverage anchored around a thread of ten core music technology competences integrated throughout the book.

The newest edition of EMT enters the world at a time of real change in education that favors independent and creative thinking by learners. Our fervent hope is that the book meets the need of newer trends in music curriculum design to integrate technology understanding into specific courses within the discipline and to serve the needs of more modular course design in creative ways. The exciting development of the e-Book edition with its many links to internal and external resources helps to support multiple courses, curricula, and interdisciplinary connections.

Awesome Book!

I am a student of Dr. Williams, author, and I think that this book is amazing. It's probably the easiest reading textbook I have ever had. I don't get bored when I read this book like I do other text books. This is a must have for music tech students!!

Very informative for beginners in the Music Technology field

My Music Technology class used this for last semester. It has a broad overview of the technology of Music Engineering ranging from MIDI to running the Macintosh OS. One of the best things about it is the fact that it uses mostly simple language to explain the topics it covers. Any Music Tech. student would be advised to purchase this book. Many Music Ed. majors I know also use this book. It covers how to utilize computer software in Music Theory classes and composing classes.
