When you teach something to someone in any field, you control the dynamic. You steer the course. You limit their scope of view.
This can be especially effective in music. Assuming one's imaginative capability is X, however that is measured. Given enough tools, the imagination will likely spread out to several tools due to their drive of curiosity. When you limit those tools, the imagination will utilize them to their fullest and given proper recording and rendering capabilities, will replace his or her curiosity with emotion and that is where the musical roots derive.
So, if I were to design a course in music, I would spend the first few weeks with the most simplest of tools and let the emotions drive the music. Let the student explore his or her intent before the surge of professional editing intertwines.
The order for learning about music technology should be first to capture the student's mind and then to enhance the ideas through tools. Thas all I be sayin'
