Music and Technology

In my doctoral work, I did an instrumental case study of the Music Box Village in New Orleans. This alternative music space wears many hats. It functions as a music venue, learning space, playground, and much more. It includes interactive art installation and instruments made from salvaged materials that form a kind of sonic playground. It’s also widely welcoming: when I was observing grade-four children playing in the space, I noticed that multiple intelligences were accepted and fostered. 

Learning about classical music just got more fun with the launch of Intermezzo, a weekday podcast from Interlochen Public Radio hosted by and for young listeners.

European musicians and music organizations are invited to attend the 13th annual European Forum on Music in Brussels (June 11–12) under the banner of “Celebrating Musical Diversity.”
