used correctly?
– Information search,
information selling, internet
business
•
•

Workshops
– Douple the joy, shere the
sorrow
How is music teaching going to
change?
– Media, games, music,
teaching
•
•
Formal-informal learning

uninterested informed?

of different ages?
•
How is music technology seen in
curriculum and contents of
teaching?
•
The effects for instrument skills
teaching, classroom teaching and
