For this project, I created a music software prototype in Max/Msp environment for 10-year-old children using information from the 2021 Model Music Curriculum in England, music education research, Jean Piaget’s development theory and UX design principles. It aims to provide a theoretical background in music and playfully make some music.
Therefore, the project consists of two parts: Firstly, the education part familiarises users with music concepts, such as tempo, texture, structure, timbre etc., as well as icons appearing in the patches. Secondly, the composition part allows them to explore drum patterns, accompaniment and melody, which they can combine to create simple loops.
