%0 Journal Article %T MEII: Sistema interactivo para promover la construcción expresiva musical en niños de 4 a 8 años. %D 2011 %@ 16925238 %U http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/sistemas_telematica/article/view/1053 %X MEII is an interactive system designed for musical composition by corporal expression. It uses corporal gestures as metaphors to control a basic musical structure system as pentatonic scales (McFerrin, 2009) and pitch transformation (Kinoki, s.f). The system was conceived as a tool to promote the musical expression of children in the range of 4 to 8 years without the necessity of musical instruments or some kind of previous musical knowledge. For its development, close attention has been paid to children’s motor limitations at this age, as well as to the importance of experimentation. The system has been developed using diverse techniques of visualization by computer, digital audio analysis and synthesis. Although it’s been proved with success with kids in that age range, in this moment it’s in an evaluation phase. %K ENSEÑANZA DE LA MÚSICA %K EXPRESIÓN CORPORAL %K LENGUAJE CORPORAL %K APTITUD CREADORA EN NIÑOS %K INTERACTION %K MUSICAL EXPRESSION %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
