Reviews for Music Education with Digital Technology

'The editors have assembled an impressive list of contributors - 17 academics, teachers, researchers and musicians, who are mainly from the UK but also from Ireland, Australia, Hong Kong and the USA... [This book] explores a wide range of digital technologies, including iPods, ring tones, DJ mixing, MIDI workstations, sound synthesis, recording, sequencing and score writing software, and the affordances of Web 2.0, including blogs, podcasts, wikis and social networking sites.' British Journal of Music Education 'What John Finney and Pamela Burnard have managed to achieve is perhaps the first truly unique contribution to the challenges, changes and innovations that digital technology presents to the music curricula for teachers in schools today...this book is certainly useful and thought provoking, and is a welcome addition to the literature in the field of music education.' Andrew King in the Journal of Music, Technology and Education 'A welcome addition to the literature on digital technology and music education. For those studying to be teachers, or researching music education at university, it will serve as an important reference work. I would also like to hope that it could influence classroom practice.' Bill Crow in Music Education Research
