Who Needs Instruments When You Have A Computer?
from the you-mean-you-actually-played-a-guitar? dept
I guess it's a sign of the times. Over in Singapore, many elementary school students are learning how to make music on a computer, rather than via traditional instruments. Schools say that it has helped them save money since they don't need to buy all the various instruments, and the students tend to enjoy messing around with a computer more than they enjoy learning to play a traditional instrument. I'm sure some traditionalists are horrified. Still, it sounds like these kids are creating some interesting music.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
