ABSTRACT
This study focuses on music technological applications to music education in tertiary institutions in Delta and Edo States. The relevance of computer applications in music education has not received sufficient attention. It features some contributions of some scholars on relevant concepts, and empirical findings that have bearing to this study. It equally describes music technological applications, and its uses for music education. The methodology is a survey; the target population is made of students and lecturers of tertiary institutions in Delta and Edo States and involves the use of library research and internet services for relevant literature. The study indicates a few numbers of institutions that apply, and those that plan to apply computer applications to music education in the classroom. Some students express, that computer applications are interestingly engaging. However, majority of the students have not been exposed to computer applications for music education in the classroom. The study concludes that If few ( 20%) of the lecturers in Delta State University and College of Education, Ekiadolor and a lecturer from Ambrose Ali University could apply some music technological applications to teach. It implies that it is realistic and realisable. Therefore, all the lecturers should endeavour to undergo a self-development programme in their areas of specialization so that it will possibly achieve the same outcome. The study recommends that the yearly computer programme organized by the National commission for Colleges of Education and should relate to and reflect in their course areas.
