Digital technology has advanced promptly than any other innovation in this world. Technology has become part of our lives because of its power of globalizing the world. Music concerts have been increasing worldwide. However, there are some people who can’t manage to attend due to some factors such as distance and financial problems. The growing technology has helped artists to produce music through virtual reality and this has enabled them to reach a wider audience. It also led to isolation of audience from reality. This main research question seeks to uncover how music will integrate into the virtual world.

This article analyzes integration of musical activity into math learning of fraction through virtual reality game. This analysis found that integration of music into mathematics enhanced learners’ motivation. The findings showed how fractions effectively represented via music impacted the virtual reality game (Lim 1132). The study’s purpose was to explore the impact of music integration into math education.

IGI Global, 2009. 849-853. https://doi.org/10.4018/978-1-60566-014-1.ch116According to Berry, the invention of internet and its rapid growth accompanied by technological advancements resulted to digitalization of virtually music into this world (Berry,849). The traditional way of exploiting its methods by using cd sales became less effective and absolute. At the same time artists started forming strong direct relationships with their audiences. This changed many functions of the music industry. This article is reliable because it was submitted by professional researchers. It will be useful to researchers who intend to know how music integrated virtual world.

The social distancing requirements during the pandemic accelerated how technology was used in music industry to offer professional development, education, practice, and research (Clark 402). This article is trustworthy because it is written by Clark, a professional researcher. He has published many articles in this field. This article will be helpful because it demonstrates how technology of virtual reality in music has been used in education and even professional development.
