Starting from an overview of the most recent studies on musical creativity in childhood, this chapter introduces a constructivist perspective based on “reflexive” interaction and the concept of creativity in and through music as a need and a tool for children to express and shape their emotions, style, and identity. The reflexive interaction paradi...

Dans ce chapitre, je présente une approche intertextuelle de l’étude du style musical du com- positeur espagnol Manuel de Falla. L’étude est basée sur l’analyse de différentes sources primaires et secondaires consultées à l’Archivo Manuel de Falla de Grenade et à l’Institut Liszt de Bologne : en particulier, un document non publié concernant les an...
While studies in social and cultural psychology have looked into the relevant social, linguistic, motor and emotional aspects of routines, a systematic and detailed account of the musical aspects is often lacking, even when references to the child’s vocalisations are made. Instead, daily routines could act as a good perspective to observe the child...
In questo articolo presenteremo alcuni aspetti che hanno caratterizzato il mondo dell'educazione musicale degli anni Ottanta in Italia, raggruppandoli in cinque categorie: gli aspetti normativi scolastici, la formazione degli insegnanti e alla ricerca, l'associazionismo, le attività editoriali e le correnti di pensiero. Il quadro è di un decennio m...
This article presents the pedagogical paradigm of reflexive interaction and its application in the field of technology-enhanced learning and children’s musical creativity. The main feature of reflexive interaction is the repetition-variation mechanism: something is repeated and varied during the interaction, through a continual process of imitation...
This project report describes policy, practice and theory related to a cross-sectoral international project funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.

Recent research suggests that the application of digital technologies
can optimize the learning and teaching of instrument and singing in the context of individual lessons in relation to certain aspects of musical performance. The application of technological systems which can record, reproduce data related to piano performance suggests that visual...
This chapter takes a constructionist perspective concerning the vocal interaction of infants with parents and grandmothers during the daily routine of diaper change. It focuses in particular on an echo mechanism of repetition and variation, which structures the child-adult vocal interaction according to different time scales (micro-events to daily...

In the framework of the LINK Project, case-studies of Class Based Activities have been carried out with the aim of identifying the state of Flow (Csikszentmihalyi,1990) of the participants. Starting from the Flow Grid introduced in Addessi, Ferrari, & Carugati (2015) and Addessi, Ferrari, Carlotti, Pachet (2006), some adaptations and a new scoring...
This article deals with the question of how the perception of the "immanent accents" can be predicted and modeled. By immanent accent we mean any musical event in the score that is related to important points in the musical structure (e.g., tactus positions, melodic peaks) and is therefore able to capture the attention of a listener. Our aim was to...

The notes in a melody are perceived as differently important even when they are performed without any emphasis or expression. This is a crucial aspect for forming the perception of the musical structure such as the metrical grid (Large and Jones, 1999). Several models have been suggested that predict perceived accents from musical structure (e.g. T...

We introduce an experimental study carried out with children, dealing with embodied cognition, musical creativity and reflexive technology. The reflexive interaction paradigm refers to a particular kind of human-machine interaction based on the mechanism of repetition and variation. We used a reflexive system implemented in the European project MIR...
Un nuovo approccio allo studio dell'arte musicale nell'infanzia passa attraverso il concetto di "stile musicale". Si tratta dello stile musicale di ciascun bambino, come rappresentazione della sua identità, del suo modo di esprimersi con i suoni e di relazionarsi musicalmente con gli altri. La piattaforma MIROR si è rivelata uno strumento utile per...

Addessi et...

[This corrects the article on p. 65 in vol. 8, PMID: 28184205.].
In this article children’s musical improvisation is investigated through the “reflexive interaction” paradigm. We used a particular system, the MIROR-Impro, implemented in the framework of the MIROR project (EC-FP7), which is able to reply to the child playing a keyboard by a “reflexive” output, mirroring (with repetitions and variations) her/his i...
Introduzione
L’osservazione, intesa come una forma deliberata, organizzata e sistematica del “guardare” (Smart, Peggs e Burridge, 2013) è di fondamentale importanza nell’ambito dell’educazione al sonoro dei bambini e, più in generale, in quello dell’esperienza musicale infantile. E lo è da molteplici punti di vista: come forma integrale nella rice...

is reviewed, comprising musical interactions between child and adult, between pairs
and between child...
In questo contributo vorremmo proporre alcune attività di educazione musicale pensate per bambini e bambine di scuola primaria utilizzando due prototipi di sistemi musicali interattivi riflessivi: il Continuator e il MIROR-Impro (Pachet, 2006). Le attività descritte sono state realizzate nel corso di 10 anni di sperimentazioni con bambini sia della...
This poster deals with a study about the social representations of music held by young students in a compulsory school in Italy. The theory of social representations is a a socio-constructionist theory elaborated by the French socio-psychologist Serge Moscovici (1981), who defined SRs as “a set of concepts, statements and explanations originating i...
This study takes a constructionist perspective concern the interaction of an infant with various adults.

Chapter 1 introduces the MIROR platform and the paradigm of reflexive interaction, discussing its theoretical and pedagogic background. The platform is presented as a “device” to stimulate musical and motor creativity in children and adults. Therefore not as a substitute for the teacher but as a tool that helps children to explore and invent with s...
Chapter 8 introduces some activities that can be carried out with children and the MIROR-Impro system in a didactic context of musical improvisation. An active approach to music teaching is presented in which improvisation is seen as a didactic tool for teaching music and for the development of musicality and musical creativity. The didactic paths...
Chapter 2 introduces some scenarios of exploration and improvisation that can be conducted in the kindergarten: activities of exploration, to allow the children to discover the physical and sonic characteristics of the keyboard and of the dialogue with the system, and activities of improvisation, during which the teacher reinforces the “findings” o...
In Chapter 10, the Authors propose improvisation activities to perform with the aid of MIROR-Impro involving both sound and movement. The chapter then offers a series of suggestions for the teacher regarding the use of the MIROR-Impro in an original way for both musical and motor improvisation. The activities are conceived for children aged 6-10 ye...
Chapter 5 presents a didactic project conducted with the MIROR-Compo in the second-year class of a primary school in the province of Bologna, in winter 2012. Here the MIROR-Compo software is used by the children to compose the soundtrack to a story. The activity of composition with the software is part of an interdisciplinary path also involving ac...
Finally, in Chapter 12, the MIROR applications proposed are directed at adults, in particular at music teachers and general teachers, operators and/or educators who teach music and/or motor education in kindergartens, creches and primary schools. More specifically, the MIROR applications are used in the training of teachers in order to develop thei...
The presence of flow state was measured and observed in children playing with the MIROR-Improvisation prototype, an interactive reflexive musical system (IRMS). IRMS have been defined as ‘flow machines’ on account of their ability to imitate the style of the human playing a keyboard. Twenty-four children (4 and 8 years old) took part in 3 sessions...
