Anna Brake unveils today's musical literacy rate by comparing recent tendencies to the techniques that spawned electronic music, glimpsing into music lessons and classrooms, and observing pop's relation to other genres. This book is chock full of information about how the advancements in technology from the turn of the millennium have impacted composers, songwriters, performers, artists, and audiences/fans, why music should be flourishing in the digital age, and easy and effective ways to get more music in your own life and the lives of others. No matter what your level of musical knowledge, Music Trends of the 21st Century will expand your musical perspective.
About the Author: Anna Brake is inherently a composer. Growing up in Missouri and South Dakota, she was always drawn to music. Curiosity led her to pick up clarinet, saxophone, violin, cello, guitar, mandolin, glockenspiel, vibraphone, and crash cymbals. Learning about a variety of instruments always interested her, but her favorite was always the piano, which was the instrument to unleash the composer within. She began composing at age 12 and knew from then on that she wanted to be a musician for life. Her compositional influences range from Bela Bartok to Karlheinz Stockhausen, Aaron Copland to Paul Hindemith, Alban Berg to Lou Harrison, Luciano Berio to Steve Reich, Igor Stravinsky to Ruth Crawford Seeger, Anton Webern to Romani folk music. She has received commissions from AMTAS (American Music Therapy Association of Students) for Samana and Matthew Turek for "Slow Bleak Awakening . . ." She has had her works presented in masterclasses by performers such as Dan Lippel and Colorfield Ensemble. Anna has done research on Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Ruth Crawford Seeger, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. Other projects include The New Music Ensemble Project. Anna has degrees in music composition (summa cum laude) and band instrument repair. As author of Music Trends of the 21st Century: Technology Influencing Culture, she complies the knowledge of years of composing and studying music and working hands-on with instruments in order to promote musical literacy in everyone. She continues to write about music in her blog, Digital Age Muses. She resides in Kansas City, MO. She is a freelance composer/arranger, author, and educator and works for UMKC.
