Conference Paper

Managing Widening Participation in Music and Music Production

Authors: Toulson, E. Robert

AES Conference: UK 23rd Conference: Music Everywhere · Paper 14 · April 2008

Abstract

Participation in music related activities has soared in recent years. However, the wider participation of musicians and music producers makes it more and more difficult for the genuinely innovative practitioners to be identified within such a large crowd. On an engineering level, home music producers have access to advanced music production systems, but there is potentially an education gap emerging, leaving practitioners with the tools but not the know-how to succeed. This paper investigates and evaluates the current landscape of audio engineering tools and music production methods to identify and map the education challenges created by widening participation. As a result, recommendations for education focus and future product development are generated and presented.
