Description

Children learn music mainly either in a school music room environment or, on evenings or at weekend, at music schools run by either companies or individual music teachers. This paper introduces examples of an informal approach to learning music that makes good use of information and communication technology (ICT). Specifically, (1) the paper presents articles published in piano teaching journals that refer to the use of ICT, and describes how ICT is used at the author's own music school and music education in public schools. (2) Due to the increased opportunities children have to hear music using ICT and their high level of ICT skills, their approach to music performance is in a state of constant change. It is noteworthy that this change is being driven spontaneously by children taking piano lessons at school, traditionally a conservative area. (3) Finally, the paper discusses future issues, including the background to, and requirements for, the development of informal learning in children's music study, and difficulty in certifying the skills children acquire.
