It equally describes computer applications, uses and the overwhelming positive influences on music pedagogy. The methodology is a survey; the target population is made of students and lecturers of tertiary institutions who are offering music studies in Delta and Edo States and involves the use of library research and internet services for relevant literature. The study indicates a few institutions that apply, those that plan to apply computer applications to music pedagogy in the classroom. Some students express, that computer applications are interestingly engaging. However, the majority of the students have not been exposed to computer applications for music education in the classroom. The study concludes that as highly practical methods in modern music education, computer applications with their characteristic visual image and interaction provide a new approach to music learning. The study recommends that the contents of music education be reviewed and amended to include realistic processes of integrating computer applications in music education. The institutions that are yet to implement the use of computer applications for music pedagogy should follow the trends. Those whose facilities are not in use, incomplete, in progress or that have inadequate personnel, should step up.
