Education and learning software is software designed for a specific educational purpose. Leading examples include software for learners aged  4 -18, covering for examples basic music theory and fun composition to specific guidance through GCSE or A Level syllabus. Education and learning software might also be a good way of exploiting links between music education and other learning or pastoral areas such as ICT, literacy or inclusion programmes.

For teachers with little or no experience with music technology, and particularly for teachers of younger learners, education and learning software for music technology is a great place to start.
