History of Technology in Music

Discovery

History of Technology in Music is a publication that provides students with a broader awareness of how technology has intersected with the musical arts (and vice versa) to affect society across human existence. Comprised of 14 units, students explore the earliest known artifacts of music and end with where musical technology may be heading in the future.  A primary goal of the text is deriving an understanding that while technology has evolved over the course of time, human nature has remained consistent.
