Desenvolvimento de uma aplicação gamificada para educação musical

Abstract

Music education offers various cognitive benefits, especially for children who dedicate themselves to studying the subject. However, the learning process presents significant challenges, with reading sheet music being one of the main obstacles leading to a high dropout rate. Considering this situation and the scarcity of tools that teach in a playful manner, this study discusses the development of a resource that assists in the initial learning of sheet music reading. The method employs gamification techniques to capture users’ interest and enhance learning effectiveness. The report outlines the theoretical foundations of music education and gamification, as well as describing how these concepts were applied in the software development. The document also includes details about project features, prototyping, architecture, flowcharts, and test scenarios, all carefully planned to ensure the quality of the final product.
