8216;Good enough’ technology – don’t knock it →. May 19, 2015. After the Goldrush did we miss a trick? I told my story of hanging around in a typical school art department, and how I liked the things I saw happening there. At the end of my article, I asked the question: why couldn’t music departments be more like this? It is worrying and depressing that we still have so many young adults who look back on their experiences of classroom music in less than favourable ways. Dull, boring, irrelevant. Well, ar...
