Abstract:

Music originates wherever people have feeling they wish to express or share with others. Improvement of performance skills helps the individual to become more proficient in expressing his thoughts, moods or ideas. The refinements or performance in the concert hall are an extension or an outgrowth of the development of the performer’s power of expression. One learns to express by giving spontaneous and uninhibited to one’s feelings and ideas – by actually using own creative power. Technology has had a tremendous impact on music education in the Western world. In education sector music has even played a very crucial and vital role in student development. Students from primary classes to high level classes are highly motivated and intellectually stimulated by music. In 2012 it was found that amongst the most developed countries in education like Australia and US etc. deeper focus was on arts. In this paper we shall be finding new ways to engage students in education through different musical technologies. In this initial work we’ll demonstrate the teaching with music technology like MIDI etc. that provides an affordable point of entry for students to express their music sensibilities as well. Computer based tools have become the standard for the music industry. We situate that music technology classes serve as an excellent environment for creative development, offering self awareness of one’s creative process, experiential flow, learning and creative thinking skills. This paper will provide a brief overview of the history, present situation and future possible applications of digital technologies or electronic aids in the education.
