Music Technology in 2009

Over the last few years there have been some major changes in how technology is used in the music industry and these innovations are now beginning to influence many aspects of teaching and learning in secondary music classrooms and studios. If you wish to keep up-to-date on what's happening in this field, you are encouraged to attend the day/s in your area. 

Unfortunately there was little professional development carried out in 2004-9 because of a serious health problem, but things are far better now!  - JohnO
