Title: Context, Understanding and Evolution

David freely discusses different forms of musical literacies and the effects of technological affordances on analysts and students; he offers considered insights into the advantages and disadvantages of different modes of musical understanding. David also discusses what explorations of sociocultural and historical facets of music creation and music making can offer the researcher alongside analytical study, while making practical references to various scholars, their contributions, and influences.
