Impress your friends by using technology to show off your music skills, even if you have little knowledge of playing the keyboard. The primary difference between a computer music course and a traditional one is that the former revolves around individual creativity and emphasises the role of the computer in the music-making process. However, computer music is about music as much as it is about audio. It gives the enthusiast access to a wide range of digital musical instruments and audio sources with which he can manipulate. Students can see the fruit of their labour as soon as they have mastered the use of relevant software.
Computer music is also more powerful.
It is not only about producing music from scratch but also about taking existing music and modifying it in addition to recording and editing digital audio. There are also software programs available that allow for self-paced learning. Mastering the piano or organ may take years while one can acquire reasonably good computer music skills in a matter of a few months. 2000 SPH AsiaOne Ltd. All rights reserved.
