This study aims to explore the effectiveness of computer-assisted musical instruction (CAMI) in the Learning Chinese
Musical Instruments (LCMI) course. The CAMI software for Chinese musical instruments was developed and
administered to 228 students in a vocational high school. A pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design with
three classes designated as the experimental group for the “CAMI in LCMI,” and another three classes as the control
group for the “traditional narrative teaching approach.” Collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics
analysis, ANCOVA, and structural equation modeling (SEM) by SPSS 10.0 for Windows and LISREL 8.52. The results
indicate that (1) the CAMI approach is superior to the traditional narrative teaching approach, (2) students show a
positive perspective on the use of CAMI for instruction in the LCMI course, (3) software interface and content design
have positive and direct influence on students’ learning attitude and self-awareness learning results, (4) learning attitude
has a positive and direct influence on self-awareness learning results, and (5) the CAMI in Chinese musical instruments
software is satisfactory assistive material for teachers in the LCMI course.
