INSTRUCTIONAL FACILITIES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSIC CURRICULUM IN COLLEGES OF EDUCATION IN NORTH CENTRAL STATES OF NIGERIA

Abstract

There is a paradigm shift in the global society on how musical knowledge is imparted to the learners, with the rapid rise in information technology,. The knowledgeable society leads to new dimensions in the learning process in a way that necessitates the introduction of modern teaching techniques which will incorporate ICT in the higher educational system. (Dorobat 2015). Gouzouasis & Bakan (2011) opined that a rich milieu of digital tools and networks for music play and music learning has emerged. YouTube, Face book, and other participatory websites invite communities of learners and creators to share, play, teach, and learn music. They further narrated that users of all ages are teaching each other songs on digital video, posting music lessons, and learning play music from “tab†and other invented notations. Colleges of education which fail to adopt technology will lag behind in the emerging trends.
