  • Developments in Music Technology in British Higher Education Between 2007 and 2018
    The discipline that ‘became’: developments in music technology in British higher education between 2007 and 2018. Russ Hepworth-Sawyer, York St John University, Nick Hughes, Robert Smyth Academy & Research Student at Birmingham City University Dawid Ziemba, York St John University Carola Boehm, Staffordshire University Abstract In 2007 Carola Boehm published the introductory article within the first volume of the Journal of Music, Technology & Education entitled ‘The discipline that never was: current developments in music technology in higher education in Britain’. Boehm identified the higher education offerings in music technology at that time. In the ten or so years that have passed since those findings, we’ve witnessed both incredible growth in the HE sector and significant shift in the flavour of programmes on offer. This shift has been seen primarily in the growth of the creative practice-led title of ‘music production’, but not at the expense of traditional ‘music technology’. Boehm’s paper also explored the wider range of subject matters that could be considered within the then term ‘music technology’, whether by an ever-expanding technological backdrop, or through interdisciplinarity. In this paper, we report on the significant changes since then, with some analysis for the future whilst considering the current political challenges for British Higher Education. Introduction On 29th June 2017, York St John University hosted the first Music Production Education Conference (MPEC). Two of the authors Hepworth-Sawyer and Hughes outlined their current research project - titled Music Technology Education Provision & Progression (MTEP) - focussing on the fluidity of music technology education in the UK. Principally MTEP is, and will be, gathering evidence around the matches and mismatches between each level and flavour of traditional music technology education and the progression routes covered by learners.
