Features of The System The Music Paint Machine

This document discusses an embodied constructivist approach to using technology to support instrumental music teaching and learning. It presents the Music Paint Machine system, which allows students to "paint" sound through movement-based interaction. The research aims to understand how an interactive music system can contribute to developing an embodied understanding of music when learning a musical instrument. The study examines the didactic potential and user experience of the Music Paint Machine through a longitudinal study of children ages 6-8 learning to play the clarineo over 9 months of weekly lessons.
