The Music Paint Machine - A Multimodal Interactive Platform to Stimulate Musical Creativity in Instrumental Practice

چکیده
Interactive music systems offer new possibilities to support instrumental music teaching by providing a corporeally grounded experience as a basis for understanding music and music playing. In this paper we introduce the Music Paint Machine, a device that enables music performers to make a painting on a computer screen by playing their instrument. It is hypothesized that using this application stimulates understanding and creative use of musical parameters.

متن کاملBuilding the Case for Video Games in Music Education
Considering educational games as interactive metaphors for learning material, we suggest in this paper that PlayStation-like gamepads are appropriate user interfaces that enable students to play with music concepts without being hindered by their own instrumental limitations. Our proposal builds upon current pedagogical research that shows that fun games increase learners’ motivation and foster...
