Their application not only concerns the development of our music education cause, but the music talents cultivated in this way will affect the development of the basic education pattern and the improvement of the qualities of the talents.The Digitized Music Education Society of Chinese Musicians Association initiated by twelve music conservatories and Art Colleges of normal universities in our country was founded in The Art College of Nanjing, on November 12th, 2001.
