A mobile music museum experience for children
نویسندگان
چکیده
An interactive music instrument museum experience for children of 10-12 years is presented. Equipped with tablet devices, the children are sent on a treasure hunt where participants have to identify musical instruments by listening to samples; when the right instrument is located, a challenge of playing an application on the tablet is initiated. This application is an interactive digital representation of the found instrument, mimicking some of its key playing techniques, using a simplified scrolling-on-screen musical notation. A qualitative evaluation of the application using observations while interacting with the application and a focus group interview with school children revealed that the children were more engaged when playing with the interactive application than when only watching a music video.
