Review
'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

Music Education with Digital Technology is a book about change and innovation in music teaching. Not often you see a music tech book with that as a key message at the beginning of its introduction. "It draws together a range of innovative practices, underpinned by theoretical insight, that helps to clarify musical practices of relevance to the changing nature of schooling and the transformation of music education."
That is what I like about this book - the way in which it prioritises the importance of looking at new ways of thinking about the application of music and technology in schools. It does not fall into the common pitfall of getting sidetracked by the technology per se. If we want to make the new music curricula relevant, accessible and engaging for all our students, we need to reflect on the issues inside these covers.
John Finney and Pam Burnard have made an excellent job of editing this book. The range of issues covered is pretty comprehensive and most chapters are highly readable. Academic jargon is kept in check by the majority of contributors.
The first section is on changing identities. Teaching music in the digital age will require "thoughtful and reflective teachers". Finney's thought provoking opening contribution focusing on the identity project of a student `on the edge' of schooling sets out the context and rationale for the book admirably.
The book goes on to cover a diverse and wide range of technology, environments and contexts on topics that demonstrate and recognize new possibilities for innovative work in education. I particularly enjoyed Ambrose Field's chapter on New forms of composition and how to enable them. He makes a powerful case for starting inside the medium itself and there are some useful pointers towards devising innovative classroom strategies here. I like his seven Creative Strategies with titles such as "Music can comment on Life" and "Computer don't have to make everything sound perfect" - refreshing stuff.
If you are looking for ways to radically overhaul the use you make of digital technologies in your teaching, start by getting hold of this book.
