ABSTRACT

This article presents an Augmented Reality App to support musical learning of children. The App works by verifying whether sequences of musical notes of the melody are correctly colored in a printed pentagram (target). Meanwhile, an animation in Augmented Reality with a 3D character dancing to the rhythm of the melody is initiated. The App has been previously tested with six children and the results point towards the great potential of this tool to improve the process of children's musical education.
