Abstract

Introducing music training to children can often present challenges, so alternative methods and tools different from traditional training are desirable. In this paper we describe the design and evaluation of an application for musical performance and playful expression targeted to children age 7-11. The application is tailored to fit into the context of a musical workshop named Small Composers, which is run by the FIGURA Ensemble. The application was evaluated in an actual workshop setting to assess how well it can it be integrated into the conventional session, and it was found to have potential for being part of future workshops.
