The MIDI standard that we understand was invented in 1983 and is used in every genre of music-making from classical to pop, in some form, to this day. Full disclosure: I only recently learned about the power of this file type and since really beginning to understand it feel rather jaded that I was not even introduced to it throughout all of my schooling either. Those who have had experience with making music electronically or have dabbled in a bit of recording would possess this knowledge, but mostly those training to be general music or secondary music specialists may not ever embrace this versatile computer protocol. Music educators graduating without modern musician skills and knowledge is an issue discussed in another blog post. What is interesting, and rather mind-boggling (to be honest), is that music teachers (myself included) trained in university classical music programs either never heard of it or have heard of it but just don’t really know what it does. Musicians across all genres of music have heard of Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI).
