Resumen de Information and communication. Technologies as a resource for the improvement of the instrument teaching-learning process: design of an educational application for the teaching-learning of the trumpet at a basic level
The main purpose of our thesis is to develop an application or platform that, based on real-time signal processing, would allow students to carry out the daily instrumental practice obtaining instant feedback. This feedback is based on the use of audio-visual elements (colour, actions, forms, sound, etc) as guides for the development of the technical action being practiced. They are, therefore, an interactive representation of the technical principles that make up a specific musical exercise. This representation combines both real and metaphorical images in order to provide a better understanding of those concepts which are more abstract. The main goal of this application is to help and guide the student’s work by offering real time information according to some parameters previously established by the teacher, who is in charge of evaluating the work being carried out. As one of the core characteristics of this application is sound recording, the teacher has a great amount of information available about the student’s progress to conduct the evaluation process. The methodology used in this project will consist of developing the application and subsequent quasi-experimental research. It will focus on analysing the practical use of the application by teachers in Galician music schools over a limited period of time. The findings will be compared with teacher and student interviews in order to obtain a broader outlook on the use of this application. The aim of this project is to promote the improvement of trumpet pedagogy through the practical application of the multiple tools currently provided by technology
