I-Maestro: Technology-Enhanced Learning for Music

In this paper, we present a project called i-Maestro (www.i-maestro.org) which develops interactive multimedia environments for technology enhanced music education. By exploiting new pedagogical paradigms with cooperative and interactive self-learning environments, gesture interfaces, and augmented instruments, this project builds on recent innovations resulting from the development of computer and information technologies and explores novel solutions for music training in both theory and performance. This paper discusses general context of the project along with the developments, together with an overview of the framework and highlights a number of different tools to support technology-enhanced music learning and teaching.
