Sampling sound, based on the ideas of composition derived from Musique Concrète, has been used in music-making in music education in Japan. There is scope for re-examination of educational implications of this activity as a result of the proliferation of smartphones and DTM soft in music practice environments. In this paper, we examined the creation of music by employing smartphones and free DTM soft by university students. Further, the musical pieces composed by them before and after they completed the questionnaires were analyzed. Results showed that the function of DTM soft enables one to view musical structures and listen repetitively. Furthermore, the activities linked to these functions have educational implications : they expand learners’ musical views, assist them to learn about musical structures, and help them to explore the sound that one wants through affecting the soundscape that the subject can control based on his or her intuition.
