Young Children and Music Technology

Peter R. Webster

Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois

This article begins with an overview of music technology today, its history and current status. The development of MIDI, digital sound synthesis, and CD audio are mentioned. Developments in music software designed assisted instruction are placed in six categories: drill-and-practice, flexible practice, guided instruction, games, exploratory, and creative. The article continues by offering examples of commercial software from these categories that are appropriate for young children. Screen shots of each program are offered, together with comments about how each title works. Research on the young child and music technology is included, with references to work done in and outside of music education. The article ends with the notion that teachers are always the key to quality instruction in music and music technology is only a tool in the process.
