Music Technology and Musical Creativity

Abstract

This article is a preview of Scott Watson’s new book, Using Technology to Unlock Musical Creativity (Oxford University Press, 2011). The book’s main contents are summarized and one of the volume’s 29 lessons is provided to assist readers in evaluating the book for their use. Particular attention is given to Watson’s success in making the connection between the use of technology and creativity, thereby providing music educators a rich resource by which to do the same in their own classrooms.
