Study on music education using computer

近年来，音乐电脑的表演取得了惊人的进步，许多公立学校开始在音乐课堂上引入电脑。但是，关于利用计算机进行音乐教育的系统研究却很少。本研究的目的是建立利用电脑进行音乐教育的教学方法。本研究的第一年，从硬件和软件两个方面对本研究选用的Macintosh电脑和音乐软件的特点进行了调查。第二年，调查了Macintosh计算机在音乐教育中的有效使用情况。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学习音乐理论。该软件的主要内容是由R.Schumann编写的“Kinderszenen”。这篇作文由几小块组成，每一块都构成了本课程的一个单元。每首曲子的内容不仅用句子来解释，还用各种音乐和图片来解释。
