Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a web-based music notation editor which has as main objective to help teachers and students in music through the learning process of four-part harmony techniques. Compared to current notation software, the editor improves the usability and the interaction techniques commonly used in the field of four-part voice leading, specially reading and writing harmony exercises. Its design includes features such as automatic voice selection, a wheel layout floating menu, shortcut zones, automatic persistence and no installation required. The application was integrated into the A3 project Harmony Analysis Environment, developed by the Music Department at Universidad de los Andes (Bogota, Colombia), to enhance education with new technological and interactive tools. This editor aims to provide an e-learning experience to students in/out of class and to be an e-learning tool for teachers to propose exercises, to keep the information related to each student, and to send feedback to the students about their solutions. |
