Changing GEAR: The Girls Electronic Arts Retreat's Teaching Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abby Aresty, and Rachel Gibson

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

The Girls Electronic Arts Retreat (GEAR) is a STEAM summer camp for ages 8 - 11. In this paper, we compare and contrast lessons from the first two iterations of GEAR, including one in-person and one remote session. We introduce our Teaching Interfaces for Musical Expression (TIME) framework and use our analyses to compose a list of best practices in TIME development and implementation.
