INTEGRATING COMPUTERIZED MUSICAL EDUCATION INTO AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PARADIGM; PROPOSAL OF APPLICATIONS USING SIBELIUS SOFTWARE

Abstract

This paper presents an interdisciplinary musical education approach for students in the musical field, through the use of Sibelius software applications. Active learning exercises provide students with a challenging and creative learning environment, computerized music education being not only a tool for seminar activities but also an opportunity to prepare students for the challenges of the contemporary world. Because many of the current education issues are best resolved using interdisciplinary approaches, it is important for students to be well trained in specialized disciplines and at the same time to be able to engage in interdisciplinary projects that test their creativity, critical thinking and ability to solve problems. The activities I propose, using Sibelius software for an interdisciplinary musical education, target the above objectives.
