Why Become A Computer Musician?

The personal-computer revolution has provided an opportunity that dramatically effects nearly every aspect of the music medium. Even the private music instructor working with the lone violin student uses sheet music typeset by a computer scoring program.

Every rock album now produced uses computers extensively from start to finish.

Composers of music films, videos and TV/radios commercials rely heavily on computers.
Visionary music education teachers are incorporating music teaching labs into their school music programs-not eliminate the interest in 'live' instrumental and vocal performance, but rather to stimulate interest in music in general.

The musical computer enables us to experience the creation of new music ideas and assist with
the teaching of traditional music concepts. For centuries, only a few fortunate humans were able to compose their works and hear them performed.

For others, being musically interested meant performing the works of earlier composers or turning on a cassette or CD player. Now the whole consepts of music for the masses has been moved from the "playback" or "reproduction only" mode to the "create it" or 'interactive' mode. It's a fact that most people with an interest in music find that it's much more rewarding to hear their own ideas come to life than simply replay what has been done before.
