Today, technological devices and computer software, which are making progress in a rapid development and change process, provide great conveniences in almost every area of our lives. This development process has enabled significant advancements in music education, just as in every field of the music industry. Music technologies have gained significant importance not only in music but also in many areas such as film, documentary, dubbing, sound restoration, and sound recording archiving.
