Reviews

Foundations of Music Technology offers clear explanations of concepts, excellent examples, and interesting chapter assignments. --Adam Vidiksis, Temple University The overall approach is excellent and unique. Foundations of Music Technology is pedagogically efficient with software applications that promote self-learning, exploration, and hands-on experiments. --Frederick W. Bianchi, Worcester Polytechnic Institute The software on the book's website is creative enough to solidify the concepts discussed and simple enough that it's not intimidating to people who have limited computer experience. --Scott Velazco, Daytona State College The software components provide the most accurate experience for beginning music technologists. They're my favorite part of this book. --Michael Albaugh, Director of Education Operations at Jazz at Lincoln Center
