In this episode of Bits and Bytes, we're going to see how the computer not only lets you play music, but play with music in all sorts of new ways — and you don't need to be musical to do this.  If you have a bad ear for music, the computer can help train your ear; if you can't read music, the computer can help you to learn.  Or if you like, it can create a new way of representing musical notes.

Bits and Bytes was a Canadian television series, produced by TVOntario in 1983. It starred Luba Goy as the instructor, and Billy Van as the student.
