Divided into two comprehensive sections, the first segment offers:

• Dedicated computer music systems, featuring the Fairlight and Synclavier

• Digital music techniques

• Musical capabilities of brand-name microcomputers

• The MIDI standard

• Interactive Videodisc

• Essential terminology and guidelines for purchasing a computer music system

The second section examines in detail a representative sample of available programs for music composition, ear-training, music theory, instrumental methods, music appreciation, history, and melodic and harmonic analysis.
