A Music Programming Course for Undergraduate Music Conservatory Students: Evaluation and Lessons Learnt

Topic: Fostering Computational Thinking through Music

Authors: Marcella Mandanici ¹ and Simone Spagnol ²

Affiliations: ¹ Music Conservatory “L. Marenzio”, Brescia, Italy , ² Iuav University of Venice, Venice, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0012056900003470

Proceedings of CSME 2023, ISBN: 978-989-758-641-5

Quick Abstract

This paper introduces the content and organisation of a music programming course offered to undergraduate Conservatory students in the spring of 2022. A number of evaluation procedures, including pre- and post-course questionnaires and exercises, and a final assignment have been administered by the teacher. Results indicate an increased confidence in the use of computers and programming, although some aspects of creativity and computational thinking need further revision. The authors examine the course content in light of the results obtained, discuss the followed approach, and make assumptions for the improvement of both course content and assessment methods.

Fostering Computational Thinking in Undergraduated Music Conservatory Students

Topic: Fostering Computational Thinking through Music

Author: Marcella Mandanici

Affiliation: Music Conservatory ”L. Marenzio”, p.tta A.B. Michelangeli 1, 25121 Brescia, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0011134600003182

Proceedings of CSME 2022, ISBN: 978-989-758-562-3

Quick Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the syllabus of a music technology course at undergraduate level in a Music Conservatory. The aim of the course is to introduce the students to computational thinking through the use of Pure Data, a free visual programming environment for music production. Starting from very basic notions in music technology and in the use of the program, the students are guided towards the knowledge of the fundamental steps of computational thinking in music production. Simple musical structures such as pattern repetition, transposition, polyphony and chords are implemented with the use of loops, abstractions, cycles, pattern storage systems and timing controls. While students become acquainted with these processes, also creative group activities are proposed with the aim of exploring the potentialities of the numeric control of sound events and musical form.

Songs in Music Education: Design and Early Experimentation of a Web Tool for the Recognition of Harmonic Changes

Topics: Technologies for Distance Music Learning and Teaching; Serious and Educational Games for Music; Computer-Based Educational Experiences for Music

Authors: Federico Avanzini ¹ , Adriano Baratè ¹ , Luca A. Ludovico ¹ and Marcella Mandanici ²

Affiliations: ¹ LIM – Laboratorio di Informatica Musicale, Dipartimento di Informatica “Giovanni Degli Antoni”, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Giovanni Celoria 18, Milano, Italy , ² Conservatorio di Musica “Luca Marenzio”, Piazza Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli 1, Brescia, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0010540407090720

Proceedings of CSME 2021, ISBN: 978-989-758-502-9

Quick Abstract

This paper deals with Harmonic Touch, a Web platform designed to foster the practice of tonal harmony also in young children. The work focuses on one of the experiences provided by the framework, namely the gamification of harmonic change recognition in songs. The platform, specifically equipped with new features to accommodate the needs of teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been tested in two Italian schools in February 2021. Early experimental results about the main difficulties encountered by the children during the games are presented and discussed.

Developing Music Harmony Awareness in Young Students through an Augmented Reality Approach

Topics: Virtual Environment, Virtual and Augmented Reality; Mobile Computer-Human Interaction

Authors: Federico Avanzini ¹ , Adriano Baratè ¹ , Mauro Cottini ¹ , Luca Andrea Ludovico ¹ and Marcella Mandanici ²

Affiliations: ¹ Laboratorio di Informatica Musicale, Dipartimento di Informatica “Giovanni Degli Antoni”, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via G. Celoria 18, Milano, Italy , ² Dipartimento di Didattica della Musica, Conservatorio di Musica “Luca Marenzio”, Piazza A. Benedetti Michelangeli 1, Brescia, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0010144700560063

Proceedings of CHIRA 2020, ISBN: 978-989-758-480-0

Quick Abstract

This paper presents AREmbody, an augmented-reality mobile application for the development of tonal harmony awareness. Continuing from previous prototypes based on full body and desktop interaction, AREmbody benefits from a very simple portable setup which allows physical interaction and supports the activity of one or more users. The application combines in a single mobile device a video processor, a media player and a movement tracker, opening the way to the design of harmonic games with challenges and recordable scores. Thus the application not only fosters music education activities in the classroom, but also extends them outside the school times and places, promoting educational practices in informal and private contexts.
