Description	Playing twentieth-century history games in front of a skeptical audience is certainly more risky than simply reciting the techno-essentialist master narrative for them. It is also more fun—for everyone involved. This chapter reviews the launching self-consciously into a grand postmodern teaching project. Jean-François Lyotard's metanarratives are the overarching, often unexamined histories that intellectual disciplines like religion, philosophy, science, and (yes) musicology have used to legitimize themselves. One sign of a postmodern attitude toward music is a growing impatience with the modernist metanarrative that Christopher Williams has usefully labelled "techno-essentialism". This techno-essentialist master narrative is most compelling; of course, when one construct histories of modern music. The temptation is even stronger when the historian is, in reality, a composer and/or music theorist, rushing in where "official" music historians have often feared to tread. Modernism has collapsed, taking with it the hegemony of the techno-essentialist master narrative. Book Name: Teaching Music History
