- PublikationExploring computational music thinking in a workshop setting with primary and secondary school children(ACM, 08/2017) Hug, Daniel; Petralito, Serge; Hauser, Sarah; Lamprou, Anna; Repenning, Alexander; Bertschinger, Didier; Stüber, Nadine; Cslovjecsek, Markus; Petralito, Serge [in: Audio Mostly - Conference on Interaction with Sound]Motivated by the essential role of music in children’s lives, the potential of sound as sensory modality, and the importance of teaching Computational Thinking, there is great pedagogical potential in the integration of musical and computational thinking into “Computational Music Thinking”. In this paper we report a pilot study exploring research and design approaches in creating learning environments and tools, which stimulate the interest of children and adolescents for both computer science and music in a sustainable way in the context of creative, self-guided activities. For the purposes of the study, two online tools, AgentCubes online, a 3D game design environment, and Ludosonica, an interactive music composition and performance system, were employed in a series of workshops designed for primary and secondary school children. Results from the study generally con rm the pedagogical potential of Computational Music Thinking and point toward promising future research directions.04 - Beitrag Sammelband oder Konferenzschrift
- PublikationComputational Music Thinking - Using End-User Programming to Explore Musical Creation in a STEAM-oriented Integrated Music Education Setting(07/2016) Hug, Daniel; Stüber, Nadine; Repenning, Alexander; Cslovjecsek, Markus; Hauser, Sarah; Agotai, Doris; Miyazaki, Shintaro; Escherle, Nora; Assaf, Dorit; Woodward, Sheila [in: Proceedings of ISME 2016]Computers have not only changed the way we live and work, but also how we create and consume music. Music software and apps are nowadays widespread in music education (Bauer, 2014). But the potential of the computer as actual musical „computing device“ is rarely exploited. In the area of computer science education the need to approach programming as creative and playful activity has been acknowledged since several years (Repenning et al., 2015). „Computational thinking“, as approach to problem solving that can be executed by both humans and computers (Wing, 2006), is being fostered in schools in the context of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education. And it is increasingly acknowledged that the notion of STEM should be extended to „STEAM“, the "A" standing for "the Arts", in order to foster transdisciplinary, holistic and innovative thinking. The use of algorithms and computing machinery has a long tradition in music, from the “musical dice games” to musical automatons and the computer music of the 20th century. Learning procedural and time-based concepts such as rhythm, melody and polyphony involves some kind of computational music thinking. Algorithmic composition offers children many opportunities to develop their own understanding of "musicality" from an inside perspective, by defining their own rules for generating "organized sound", and by understanding the "rules" and structures underlying various musical phenomena, practices and cultures. Recent works have demonstrated approaches to implement computational principles in classroom or workshop settings (Greher & Heines, 2014; Burnard et al., 2014). Therefore, we see great pedagogical potential in the integration of musical and computational thinking to “Computational Music Thinking”, which we would like to share and discuss with the community.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
- PublikationA Critical, Design Driven Approach to New Interfaces for Music Education(04/2015) Hug, Daniel; Cslovjecsek, Markus; Hennessy, Sarah [in: Proceedings of RIME 2015, The 9th International Conference for Research in Music Education]Over the last years, smartphones and tablets have become attractive and ubiquitous platforms for sound and music applications, popularizing new ways of creating and manipulating digital sound. According to Krebs, founder and director of the DigiEnsemble Berlin, music apps offer people with little or no musical education access to new means of musical activity and sonic expression (Krebs 2014). This development has an impact on how music making is conceptualized and practiced and thus is relevant for music education. As practitioners increasingly incorporate multitouch tablets in their educational practice (see, e.g., Riley 2013, Krebs 2014), a critical and practice based pedagogical discourse regarding the use of these technologies is necessary, in order to allow the “reflective practitioner” to develop a systematic understanding of the diverse application and interface concepts, which can be seen as embodiments of musical concepts and ideologies. Furthermore, it can inform the design of applications for a pedagogy of listening and music/sound making, that truly leverage the potential of new technologies and meet the quality standards of music education.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
