Music Computing and Computational Thinking: A Case Study

Kyriakos Tsoukalas, and Ivica Bukvic

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

The NIME community has proposed a variety of interfaces that connect making music and education. This paper reviews current literature, proposes a method for developing educational NIMEs, and reflects on a way to manifest computational thinking through music computing. A case study is presented and discussed in which a programmable mechatronics educational NIME and a virtual simulation of the NIME offered as a web application were developed.
