History of Technology in Music Education
Since WHA began to broadcast music education programs on the radio in 1917, the radio has been an effective and efficient way to provide music education to children both in and out of the classrooms.
Hey great post, Stefani. It's hard to understate just how revolutionary the invention of the radio was.
It is amazing to see how music spreads. Inventions like the radio, cd, mp3, internet and so many more have influenced how we listen to music and how music is spread around the world.
I remember in Diverse Worlds of Music here at MSU we listened to worldwide music competitions. The fascinating thing I noticed was that most of the popular groups from all over the world sounded just like any other pop artist you might hear on the radio in the United States. I think that suggests that through these technologies that allow us to spread music across the world in a matter of seconds has also impacted the identity of world music. Folk music still exists of course, but in many ways "pop" music worldwide has all blended into the same general genre.
