Mark Katz (Associate Professor) holds degrees from the College of William and Mary (B.A. in philosophy, 1992) and the University of Michigan (M.A., Ph.D. in musicology, 1995, 1999). Before joining the faculty at UNC, he taught at the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University (1999-2006). His research and teaching focus on music and technology, popular music, and performance practice. He has written two books, Capturing Sound: How Technology has Changed Music (2004, rev. ed. 2010) and The Violin: A Research and Information Guide (2006). Two more books are on the way in 2012—Music, Sound, and Technology in America: A History in Documents (with Timothy Taylor and Anthony Grajeda) and Groove Music: The Art and Culture of the Hip Hop DJ.
 
 
 
Professor Katz lectures frequently on music to academic and non-academic audiences. He has been a guest speaker at universities throughout the U.S. and in Europe, and has addressed general audiences through pre-concert lectures, radio and television interviews, website chats, and engagements at the Smithsonian Institution, the British Library and elsewhere.  He serves on the advisory board of the Journal of Musicology and in 2012 will become the editor of the Journal of the Society for American Music.
