Abstract :
Digital technology can be used to amplify the wonderful benefits of music. Modern digital technology has great potential to boost music education, especially in very early education. Music drill and practice by computer must always be a background to social musical activity arranged by educators and parents. The great benefit of the computer is that it can impart basic music skill and knowledge that present-day mentors often no longer have because it has faded so much from school and society.
