Altered art is not a new art form. Artists have been transforming everyday objects into works of art for a long time. Altered art is the result of taking a found object and changing it in some intriguing way. It’s an idea as old as art itself. It has become a very hot trend in the past few years, especially amongst crafters. However artists have been altering things for years.

Music schools are now becoming more diverse by expanding their course offerings and majors to include music business, musical genres and especially music production and technology. Among these music schools, one of the hottest trends in music education is in contemporary music and modern music production.
Why? Music schools are looking for new ways to open their resources to a wider range of students. Especially in the aforementioned area. Technology is changing the way many of today’s leading musicians compose, perform and produce. It is also changing the way in which music reaches audiences both in the recorded and performance mediums.
