However, this study focuses and investigates ways of assisting teachers’ and students of music on how to be in the same page with the other subjects in the area of using Medias (video-tape, computers, ipads etc) as educational tools in teaching and learning because, anyone who fails to keep pace with giant stride taken by others in the area of teaching and learning gets left behind.
