Music has always been and will always be an important cultural instrument which is not affected by country or region where it is produced. Overtime, the learning of the tools required to make it has suffered alterations, either improvements or step backs. Since Mozart to Michael Jackson it has been taught through traditional methodologies, in a small room with a teacher demonstrating how to play a certain instrument or how to read a musical score. With the rise of the internet and other technological tools people now can learn from the comfort of their homes through apps or websites specifically developed with the intent of sharing musical scores or how to play certain music. The aim of the project, in this setting, is to find how the modern situation of music and most importantly how it is taught. To achieve the goal, a questionnaire was created for self-taught students, focusing on understanding how information technologies affect the class so as to facilitate musical learning and advantages and disadvantages.
