Editing Cantometrics (section)

==Cantometrics as an educational tool==
The Cantometrics team also created a set of teaching tapes that make it easy to develop an understanding of world music and to create new song profiles. “Cantometrics helps you to break music down into its parts,” Roswell Rudd told Gideon D’Arcangelo. “You want to know how it’s put together and then you want to know where the parts came from. The Cantometrics teaching tapes are the best thing anybody can use who wants to understand world music, classical music, pop music, whatever. That teaching kit teaches you about the qualities of music – any kind of music from any culture.”<ref>Roswell Rudd, quoted in Gideon D’Arcangelo (2003).</ref> 
Alan Lomax foresaw that computers would be an ideal way to make Cantometrics analysis available not just to scholars but to people of all ages and educational backgrounds, particularly school children. With that end in view, during the 1990s he developed The Global Jukebox, an interactive multi-media computer program designed for classrooms, museums, and libraries to visually and aurally map the world's song and dance cultures, incidentally helping people understand their own roots and those of others, while teaching geography, anthropology, and tolerance through song and dance.<ref>Some have likened The Global Jukebox to [[Pandora (radio)|Pandora]], see for example the / interview of Don Fleming by reporter [[John Hockenberry]] on the [[Public Radio International]] [http://www.thetakeaway.org/2012/jan/31/the-global-jukeboxs-premiere  program] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202124514/http://www.thetakeaway.org/2012/jan/31/the-global-jukeboxs-premiere |date=February 2, 2012 }}, [[The Takeaway (radio)|The Takeaway.]]</ref> Since Alan Lomax's death in 2002, The Association for Cultural Equity, which Lomax founded, has been working to update the program, and make it widely available. In fulfillment of this project, as of March 2012 all the recordings of his Archive will be streamed online.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/31/arts/music/the-alan-lomax-collection-from-the-american-folklife-center.html?pagewanted=all  Larry Rohter, "Folklorist’s Global Jukebox Goes Digital", ''New York Times'' (January 31, 2019)]</ref>
