Résumé, summary
The computer can be widely used for music activities. The users can arrange the original music easily using the computer.
In our activity, we used music software, "Mujiro," on the PC type computers. During the music activity, the teacher used the computer as a tool like a rhythm box, a metronome, or a music stereo. The teacher changed the tempo of the music and erased a certain part of the ensemble using the computer. Therefore, the students could learn the rhythm of the mambo music and practice their part for the school ensemble easily with the computer.
The students enjoyed practicing some instruments with the computer. After practicing their instruments with the computer, they developed self-confidence and did not hesitate to play the instruments in front of other people.
