Study on music education using computer

近年来，音乐电脑的性能有了惊人的进步，许多公立学校开始在音乐课上引入电脑。但是，对计算机辅助音乐教育的系统研究还很少。本研究以建立电脑音乐教学法为目的，在研究的第一年，从硬体与软体两方面，对本研究所选用的电脑与音乐软体的特性进行调查。第二年，调查了计算机在音乐教学中的有效使用。在最后一年，音乐学习软件由Hyper Card完成，该软件旨在通过特定的作曲来学习音乐理论。本软件的主要内容是由R.舒曼编写的“Kinderszenen”。这篇作文由小块组成，每一块构成本课程的一个单元。每首乐曲的内容不仅有句子的解释，还有各种音乐和图片的解释。
