I just listened to this podcast and I am very impressed with the size of the music tech. program that Mr. Rudolph has been able to develop even at the high school level. I am currently in my junior year at Grove City College studying music education and I am enrolled in a music tech course this semester.
In my high school, they had just started a music technology course a year or two before I left and I didn’t have the opportunity to take it. I heard from some of my peers who did, however, that they were unimpressed with the content and quality of the curriculum. I suppose it’s to be expected that any new course would take a few years to develop and grow and it seems that they’re doing something right in Haverton.
One question I have: What kind of resources are out there to enhance a music technology course curriculum besides the standard software programs and maybe a textbook or two?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for listening and for posting. As for your question, yes there are a few good text books to use. Check out Course Technology at http://www.course.com for some excellent text book resources. Backbeat Publishing is another good publisher of music technology materials. The best sources you have is the internet. Websites like James Frankel, Tom Rudolph, the TI:ME Website, and a few others are loaded with some great resources. You can go to several of these websites and you will find they have resource pages full of listings. I have a small one on my website as well. Blessings!
