Sub: Music Technology Concept.
Respected Vidushi,
1. I thought it is prudent to share a research review paper on “Music technology: A perceptive prospect”, published by me in the International Journal of Music and Dance, May 2013 issue, visit: http://www.academicjournals.org/JMD/PDF/Pdf2013/May/Ramanamurthy.pdf,.
2. Scholarly music professionals and academicians like: Prof Yella; Akella Mallikarjuna Shrama; TM Mahadevan, Violinist, Scientist and Director (Retd), Atomic Minerals of Atomic Energy, Professor. Dr. Er. Ratnam V. Raja Kumar, VC, Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, among many others, who had appreciated my suggestions.
3. The US based Guru Swara attempt http://www.guruswara.com/ , Virtual Practice For Vocal Excellence is a good beginning, but it is not an end in it-self, because, it does not address the core issues and lot more to be done in terms of computer software.
4. British Professors of Music have developed individualized Musical therapeutics, for seriously ill and suffering from life threatening mentally challenged children, which is yielding good results. http://www.songsoflove.org
5. Also, techno-commercial feasibility and job potential exists.
6. Kindly acknowledge and also solicit valued your feedback.
virtually.Wishes, M.v.Ramanamurthy,
