Abstract
This work is an adaptation of a previous one. It analyses the effects of music notation software on the ability of students to identify and sing intervals. The study compares the achievement of twenty-four students who were eight to eleven years old and from the first four levels of music class. The sample was randomly assigned to either the two experimental groups, using the computer program during ten sessions which were twenty minutes long, or to the control group which made theoretical exercises. The results showed no significant difference between groups, although there were observed motivation attitudes in pupils during sessions.
