As the program proceeding, it trains the participators have to better capacities in plan, observation, inquiry and sorting even know how to communicate to work together by using up-to date technology to have the problems digging and information collection and sorting actions.

(4)The six main topics ---information education:

Using the present technology, students are much easier to collect, proceed and create information.Such as we utilize the Yahoo family to sort and exchange the information; this also made students to upgrade themselves step by step.

What we get?

(5)The harvest from students:

A. The experience outside the classroom

Being out of classroom without having books, we have to takes notes by ourselves to collect all the information from visiting the “Musix Co., Ltd.” and to sort out again latter.From Zero to All, it is a wonderful experience for us to accumulate the necessary knowledge.Most of important is to see the wonderful result finally.

B. Score is not equal to capability.

From this interview, teachers found that the students with lively spirit in school were more active than the ones with higher scores; also the former ones had better observation for details during the actives.With this experience, we deeply know that everyone has his talent to do something.

C. Plans can not catch up with changes

We had no good luck to have a interview to the musical instruments plant located in Kuo-Li, Chung Li city because fixed appointed time is their annual inventory check that made us have to postpone. The 2nd time was happened again due to be the same day of our semi final exam.So we enjoyed the process of musical instruments manufacturing from the relative photos teachers brought back for us.

According the whole process, we find that its huge duty which is totally different from the reports we did as easier as before to collect data and copy any information.With the cooperation relied on each other of teamwork, it let us understand the capability from members even to trust each other resulting in carrying out a big mission with happier atmosphere.

(6)The harvest from teachers:

A. To guide is more important to teach:

As being teachers, what more important for us is to guide them to look into rather than to teach them directly.It is worth to have them to form a ability of thinking over things in details.

From inside to be outside of the classroom, teachers had brain storm to integrate the possible efficient methods to make it happened including not only the use of network, website creating but also to combine various professional knowledge. The every step in front of us has its obstacle which let us have to upgrade as the same as computer hardware to make it run smoothly.

What the information technical products you used to finalize your “Taiwan School CyberFair” program?

What the ways you use to play the role of ambassador or spokesman for “Taiwan School CyberFair” through online or personal contact?

We made a list for all the information including the schedule, topics and content presented to Mr. Yi Xie of Musix Co., Ltd. by email to request him to fix a appointment with his company.After the interview, we sent the records to him to double check the text being correct.

What the influence and impact of this program happened to you?

We thought what a musical instrument enterprise is with leisurely atmosphere; the things in front us is totally different from what we think. From the metal raw materials to copper plate until a musical instrument completed, there combines the heavy industry and metal treatment technique with experienced specialists’ skills to make these products qualified as commercial items to be sold; that is under numerous co-workers’ endeavors to make it happened. Whenever we list to the elegant music played by musicians; there must be a lots anonymous heros contributed to it.

What else participators offer help or as volunteers to your program study?

After collecting the relative information of Musix Co., Ltd. in advance, we started to contact with them and accepted the agreement from Mr. Tang for our interview.We requested Mr. Yi Xie Li to negotiate with them the schedule in details and accompanied with us from LuZhou to ChungLi. He is right the consultant we have to appreciate.

All the texts including wordings and photos, we already received the agreements from the original units. Such as “Band Festival” section, that was what we had contacted with “Culture Affairs Bureau of Chiayi City” in advance to allow us to use without any commercial actions and needing to have remakrs to let people know where these are from.

Highly appreciated to the “Culture Affairs Bureau of Chiayi City”allowing us to utilize all of the texts from the website of “Chiayi-City International Band Festival”.

Discovery/Lessons/Surprise

After finished this program, we deeply know that it is a tough task to run a huge enterprise especially to promote/expand the musical education in efficiency at short term.

I found the brand of harmonica which my father played before is “butterfly”; the earlier organ and rhythm instruments which teachers played during their elementary school were all made by the musical instruments located in LuZhou city.The musical instruments played by musicians in the National Concert Hall are almost sponsored by “Musix Co., Ltd.”. Band music clubs, Band Music Festivals, Clarinet Session Clubs are handled and sponsored continued by the same company of “Musix”. Its huge mission includes from manufacturing, education, selling and maintenance and has a root deeply in the domestic musical education as what we see.

The musical instrument plant located in ChungLi countryside is a world famous maker; the smallest district of LuZhou city is the global logistic center for the top 5 musical instrument enterprise in the world. Then the endeavor from the co-worker, in ChungLi and LuZhou cities, putting into these products, we did surprise at their mirage what they make.
