Innovative tools and methods for teaching music and signal processing

Digital technologies offer new means of expression in the field of music allowing us to explore areas of unlimited and unprecedented sound and expressiveness.

It is, therefore, important to train future generations regarding these tools from experimental and multidisciplinary perspectives to ensure that musical creation will evolve and fully exploit the possibilities these technologies offer.

With this in mind, we have collected for this book fifteen texts written by researchers, teachers, musicians, composers and Ph.D. students of various backgrounds, each having an innovative and individual practice of teaching music or signal processing.

The book was published following a conference held on 2 and 3 November, 2015 at the University of Saint-Etienne, organized by the CIEREC (Interdisciplinary Center for Studies and Research on Contemporary Expression) in partnership with GRAME. It has been partially funded by the FEEVER project [ANR-13-BS02-0008] supported by the Agence nationale pour la recherche.
