Abstract

With its interactive and captivating learning experiences, touchscreen technology has become a particularly promising new direction for music learning in recent years. This paper reports the preliminary study which investigates the impact of a touchscreen-technology-based multi-user collaborative musical instrument application in middle school studentsā€˜ music learning. Four secondary school students were chosen as participants and participated in interviews and non-participant observation. The evaluation revealed that this application fulfilled the usability aspect; it was confirmed to be easy to use and contributes to fostering collaborative skills and increasing student engagement in music learning. As there is no existing mobile music instrument application for multi-users to support middle school students in music learning, this study would be considered a groundbreaking attempt. The insights provide valuable implications for educators and developers aiming to integrate touchscreen technology into music curricula, promoting more interactive and collaborative learning environments
