This study aims to examine the studies scanned in Web of Science and Scopus databases between 2006-2020 on the use of augmented reality applications in music education in terms of their descriptive features, methodological features, and outcomes, and to reveal the trends in this field. The criterion sample approach was utilized in this qualitative…

Scholars who recognize the socially constructed nature of literacy acknowledge that important literacy processes take place across settings both in and out of school. Most of what is known about these trans-literacy practices relates to students, but little is known about the literacy practices of teachers in and outside of school. This study…

Recent changes in musical synthesizers include decreasing the size, height, weight, and cost while increasing the capabilities and ease of control. Recent developments have upgraded live performance capabilities. Changes include polyphonic capabilities, sound recall, touch-sensitive keyboards, various keyboard playing modes, and digital…

Reviews recent books on science for readers from age nine through young adult grouped according to the following categories: astronomy, computers, electronic musical instruments, and genetics. (RBW)

Explores tools used within music education and the developments involved due to technological advancements: (1) recorded sound; (2) visual imagery; (3) electronic instruments; (4) recording devices; (5) computers; and (6) the World Wide Web. (CMK)

Gives five examples from music teachers about how they use different types of technology, in particular the electronic keyboard, in their classrooms. Demonstrates the contrasting methods of each of these teachers, but illustrates, at the same time, how they all have met the same ends: to enhance music education through technology. (CMK)

Asserts that a revolution has been occurring in musicology since the 1970s. Contends that music has change from being only a source of emotion to appearing more open to science and techniques based on computer technology. Describes recent research and other writings about the topic and provides an extensive bibliography. (CFR)

Discusses the importance of applying computational modeling and artificial intelligence techniques to music cognition and computer music research. Recommends three uses of microworlds to trim computational theories to their bare minimum, allowing for better and easier comparison. (CFR)
