This book would be ideal for a teacher that is not familiar with music and its associated technologies but now is required to teach on the subject. The author does state in the beginning that this is to be an overview of the topic. And that is honestly what it was. I misunderstood the title to mean that it was for a music instructor to take them to the next level in technology. Not the case. It is a good foundational book for those entering into the idea of teaching technology used in music. And because the technology has lapped several times since this pubication date of 2002, it is in my opinion out of date. For example, it speaks heavily on MIDI. Back in the early part of the decade MIDI was innovative. However, now with VSTi and digital music files, MIDI has become somewhat obsolete.
If you are not particular on the current technologies and would like a basic overview of the topics this would be a good purchase for you. That is why I gave it 3 stars. For those who are looking for more cutting edge and current, you definitely will need to look elsewhere.

This is a good book for studying at school. It is helpful and insightful. You can even read it if you’re not at school it’s still a great tool for you to dive into, if you’re into that kind of thing.
