Diseño y Evaluación de un programa informático para la educación musical de maestros no especialistas. El caso de EMOLAB.
This article shows the design, development and evaluation of a software for teaching support in a music training course for pre-service non music teachers. The aim of EMOLab has been addressing to both production and perception musical activities. The assessment of software was done by freshmen enrolled in Elementary Education Teacher Training degree. They completed a questionnaire that collected their opinions (versatility, efficiency, ease of use, quality of graphical environment, adequacy, interest, facilitating learning, feedback, functionality) and perceptions on more general aspects (control, guidance, affection, consultation, verification, tracing). The data suggest that students per…
Cantus: Construction and evaluation of a software solution for real-time vocal music training and musical intonation assessment
The development of the ability to sing or play in tune is one of the most critical tasks in music training. In music education, melodic patterns are usually learned by imitative processes (modelling). Once modelled, pitch sounds are then associ-ated to a representation according to a syllabic system such as the Guidonian system - or an arbitrary single syllable - or western graphic notation system symbols. From a didactic standpoint, few advances have been made in this area besides the use of audio-supported guides and existing software, which use a microphone to analyse the input and estimate the pitch or fundamental frequency of the given tone. However, these programmes lack the necessary…
