The field of leadership in music technology education delves into the intricate interplay of pedagogical, sociocultural, and philosophical factors that shape curriculum, research, and decision-making in higher education's music technology programs. This comprehensive book explores a diverse range of cutting-edge topics, including the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on music technology education, innovative concepts for professional development, fruitful partnerships between higher education institutions and the creative and cultural industries, and the transformative effects of technology on sustainability. By drawing upon various leadership theories, such as transformational, situational, servant, and social change model theory, the book presents a novel model called Creative Industry Leadership.
