Title
Ride N' Rhythm, Bike as an Embodied Musical Instrument to Improve Music Perception for Young Children.
Abstract
Music plays a crucial role in young childrenu0027s development. Current research lacks the design of an interactive system for younger children that could generate dynamic music change in response to the childrenu0027s body movement. In this paper, we present the design of bike as an embodied musical instrument for young children 2-5 years old to improve their music perception skills. In the Ride Nu0027 Rhythm prototype, the rideru0027s body position maps to the music volume; and the speed of the bike maps to the tempo. The design of the prototype incorporates the Embodied Music Cognition theory and Dalcroze Eurhythmics pedagogy, and aims to internalize the u0027intuitiveu0027 knowing and musical understanding via the combination of music and body movement.
