eturn to the menu Computer Aided Instruction for Music Computer programs that involve music instruction have advanced to new levels in recent years. There are four main categories of software and the range is from the very beginning user to the advanced user. The categories include: Flexible Practice - works on music aural skills and music theory applications as well as performance skills. This type of program allows the student and teacher to customize the program by entering new material. Drill and Practice - work on music aural skills and music theory applications. The software is customized for specific tasks and instructional support but new material may not be added to the program. Simulation - exciting because they allow the user to interact with the computer program. The user may play practice a melody or improvise with an accompaniment pattern. Multimedia - offer a combination of sound, graphics, text, and hypertext in a learning environment. There are many programs available, but most of them do not use MIDI support. Most Web Browsers and some HyperCard programs do have MIDI support. The programs that are listed below have MIDI capabilities. There are many excellent CAI music programs that do not use MIDI, but they are not discussed on this page. I recommend the book Experiencing MUSIC TECHNOLOGY for a complete review of CAI music software programs. Flexible Practice Practica Musica is an in depth Flexible Practice program that teaches music theory and aural skills. When the software is connected with a MIDI interface the program becomes very powerful with input from a MIDI controller. If the user doe not want to use MIDI sounds the internal sounds in the program are also an excellent option. For a college level aural skills course an instructor may enter their own melodies with the an editor selection.
Simulation Vivace is simulation CAI music program that provides Intelligent Accompaniment for vocalists, winds and brass instruments. Vivace is an interactive system that is able to listen to and follow the musician by responding to the sound source through a microphone. As the musician plays or sings their melody line, Vivace will respond with an picture from Coda Music accompaniment that reacts musically to the soloist's tempo interpretations. The company Coda provides over 4,200 titles with a wide range of ability levels and a repertoire that includes selections from classical, jazz and current pop and rock tunes. This program has been very successful in educational programs from grade school through college. There are now band method accompaniments that offer an exciting new approach in encouraging the beginning student to practice their music lessons. Vivace is a way for a student to practice with an accompaniment that would not be available on a regular basis. Simulation Band in a Box is another simulation CAI music program that works as an accompaniment for the musician. The program allows the user to program in a wide variety of chords and rhythm style accompaniment. The accompaniment may range from the standard piano, bass, and drums to a more elaborate ensemble with guitar, strings, horns and a melody line. The keyboard above will display the piano accompaniment and the bass line. The user can adjust the tempo, transpose the key signature, and set up the song to repeat a specific number of times to rehearse a selection. This program is very helpful for the rehearsal of a jazz improvisation solo without the jazz band, saving valuable time in a jazz band rehearsal. return to the menu Music Patch Editors and Librarians The programs that are described here are applications that deal with MIDI.
