Will Kuhn and I finished our book

For the past year or so, Will Kuhn and I have been writing a book for Oxford University Press called Electronic Music School: A Contemporary Approach to Teaching Musical Creativity. Late last night, we submitted the finished manuscript to Oxford. There are still multiple rounds of copyedits and page proofs to do before it hits the shelves, but the hard part is over.

The book is for music educators who want to develop classes in music technology, production, beatmaking, songwriting, or film scoring. It includes a full curriculum’s worth of project plans that Will created for his wildly successful music tech program at Lebanon High School in Ohio. We also talk about methods for developing your own projects, keeping your material current, purchasing and maintaining gear, budgeting and fundraising, selling the idea to your school, teaching music tech online, and the radically progressive educational philosophy animating our work. I’ll keep you posted about the release date.
