Abstract:

This paper discusses perspectives for conceptualizing and developing hand-based wearable musical interface. Previous implementations of such interfaces have not been targeted for music pedagogical use. We propose principles for pedagogically oriented `musical hand' and outline its development through the process of prototyping, which involves a variety of methods. The current functional prototype, a touch-based musical glove, is presented.
