Abstract

The paper follows the experimental study of "the effect of computer-assisted instruction on piano teaching: An experimental study of students of biological sciences". It analyzes the results, which show a significant increase in practice time and success rate. Scientists from both universities have been working on a project to see if computer-assisted instruction would be useful for music education. They ran an experiment with students to see its effects. They found that it had greater effects on some types of learning than others. The paper summarizes the findings and talks about implications for future research in this field as well as practical applications for computer-assisted instruction in various fields, including education. Evaluation was based on three areas: practice, piano playing, and music appreciation. Students were divided into two groups: computer students and students without computers. The research team had expected that by using the computer, students will be able to practice longer and improve more quickly. The experiment also supposed that the additional practice would affect their concentration and listening skills in playing well-known pieces of music.
