Digital musical instruments for best educational practices
Studying the intersection between art and technology education can provide insights into how cultural values are shared within different communities. It also helps us to explore alternative ways of sharing knowledge, techniques and tools across different disciplines, cultural contexts and sectors. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the DECODMI project examines digital musical instruments to evaluate teaching practices for the design of new musical interfaces in professional and higher education contexts. Through surveys, interviews and fieldwork, the project produces a comprehensive analysis of instrument design education in both academic and non-academic sectors. The aim is also to advance art and technology by providing practical resources and examples of best educational practices that promote innovation, whilst taking into account socio-cultural awareness, diversity and inclusion.
