Musical game Magic Dice: a teaching aid that provides ludic support for playing the instrument

ABSTRACT:

This work discusses the challenge of the music teacher in engaging the student in classes and in individual practice. Theoretical references from philosophers such as Huizinga, Piaget and Callois were used to address the game and its relationship with music. Furthermore, methodologies relating to the practice of the instrument from theorists such as Suzuki, Tania Carey, Karen Tuttle and Primrose were also used to support decisions about the technical-interpretive aspects of the violin, viola and cello. With the aim of making classes and daily study more interesting and improving the technical-interpretive aspects of the instrument, the Magic Dice game proposes practice in a playful reality, allowing the child to improve their performance and achieve satisfaction when playing. In this study, after using the Magic Dice, there was progress in the student's tuning, sound and posture, in addition to growth in sociability, interaction and bond between student, instrument and teacher.
