Abstract

This paper presents an explorative research on the introduction of live coding into the Italian music curriculum in middle school with the aim to offer teachers a multidisciplinary didactic tool that can enhance the learning experience of students. The research focuses on the challenges that music teachers face when introducing live coding into their curricular activity and the type of training that can prepare them for it. The paper covers three main points: the training of teachers, the pedagogical strategies employed in the classrooms, and an overview of the results of the first year of experimentation. Overall, the paper aims to offer insight into the potential benefits and challenges of using live coding as a teaching tool in music education and highlights its potential for multidisciplinary applications, while also showing possible paths for future work and improvement.
