Towards a gamified musical skill learning model (MUS-LM): Structural aspects

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the CrazySquare project, a research and development project aiming at realizing an ICT support system for musical education inspired by Gordon’s Music Learning Theory, within Italian Middle Schools. The CrazySquare project is designed according to an action research based methodological approach, deejay, so to guarantee the required equal attention to research and development objectives. In this paper we aim at introducing the overall methodological setting of the project and the main structural aspects of the learning model, mirroring the two main concepts of music aptitude and music achievements as introduced by Gordon.
