El Sistema - "the system" - is a music education phenomenon. Since
its inception 40 years ago, over a million Venezuelan children from
many different socio-economic backgrounds have participated in its
mission of "social change through music". This book therefore
offers practical information for those seeking knowledge,
inspiration or guidance for adapting El Sistema to widely divergent
socio-economic settings, particularly within the USA. Designed as a
collection of essays, it explores the voices and experiences of
teachers, leaders, parents, and experts from related fields with
the hope of inspiring actions, both large and small, to advance
social change through music.

The use of technology in music and education can no longer be
described as a recent development. Music learners actively engage
with technology in their music making, regardless of the
opportunities afforded to them in formal settings. This volume
draws together critical perspectives in three overarching areas in
which technology is used to support music education: music
production; game technology; musical creation, experience and
understanding. The fourteen chapters reflect the emerging field of
the study of technology in music from a pedagogical perspective.
Contributions come not only from music pedagogues but also from
musicologists, composers and performers working at the forefront of
the domain. The authors examine pedagogical practice in the
recording studio, how game technology relates to musical creation
and expression, the use of technology to create and assess musical
compositions, and how technology can foster learning within the
field of Special Educational Needs (SEN). In addition, the use of
technology in musical performance is examined, with a particular
focus on the current trends and the ways it might be reshaped for
use within performance practice. This book will be of value to
educators, practitioners, musicologists, composers and performers,
as well as to scholars with an interest in the critical study of
how technology is used effectively in music and music education.
Never has there been such an exciting time to be a music teacher.
Band, choir, and orchestra are ubiquitous in schools and have come
to be known as the primary mode that students experience music at
the secondary level. Similarly, elementary school classrooms
feature approaches by Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Music Learning
Theory, among a host of others. But, what is next? In this
enlightening guide, author Clint A. Randles provides music
educators with the practical tools to turn their classrooms into
student production studios. Addressing everything from a new
conceptualization of the physical classroom space to the cables and
other audio equipment no music educator should be without, Randles
puts creativity, technology, recording arts, songwriting, music
production, and live performance at the center of music classrooms.
Edward Joseph Dent (1876 1957) was a music critic who was Professor
of Music at Cambridge University from 1926 to 1941. Originally
published in 1958, this book presents a concise guide to the
structural elements of the fugue aimed at the beginner. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in music criticism, the
history of education and the writings of Dent."
