Advantages of Music CAI

  1. Reinforcement of the relationship between seeing and hearing music
    (Seeing an interval, melody, rhythm, or chord while simultaneously hearing it)

  2. Individualization of instruction
    Because students are working independently with a computer, they may progress at individual paces. Furthermore, a student who has no problem with one subject area may proceed to a new area without waiting for classmates.

  3. Instant feedback and immediate positive reinforcement
    This helps the student to avoid repetition of mistakes, and encourages learning.

  4. Objectivity

  5. Randomized drill or test questions

  6. Customized levels of difficulty

  7. Record keeping

  8. Student motivation increased

  9. Student anxiety minimized due to less peer-to-peer competition
