Music Science / Science of Music at UNSW

The Music Acoustics Group maintains a large web site introducing many aspects of music science (or use the navigation bar at left).

The Science of Music is also the name of a series of broadcasts made for the ABC. Five of Australia's outstanding musicians took their instruments and their questions to the laboratory. The result is a series about music and musical instruments, comprising structured discussions between musician and scientist, richly illustrated with examples from the concert stage, the studio and the laboratory. Dene Olding was the string expert, Nigel Westlake did woodwinds, Paul Plunkett brass, Colin Piper Percussion, Paul Dyer Keyboards and Nigel Westlake Composition. It was written and presented by Joe Wolfe.
