The article contains the results of a survey (1991) into electro-acoustic music studios and courses in higher education in the UK. Not only is there an ever-increasing profile of information technology in music, but also unprecedented speed and scale of advances in music technology which question not only what is taught, but how. By surveying the state of the nation's studios and courses, the authors seek to suggest strategies for future studio- and course-design that take into account these rapid developments as well as the fast growing demand for studio access and tuition.
