“…Since there is a growing demand for music therapists, these electronic music tools offer an objective assessment of their role in music therapy, but guidelines for their application in therapy are lacking [23]. Using MIDI interesting research questions occur and the findings propose a five-step treatment model when using technologies with people with complex needs.…”

Abstract-The purpose of this paper is to review the most representative studies of the last decade (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) which deal with the combination of technology and music and concern individuals with Generic learning disabilities. Particularly, the areas of needs in this paper are divided to the following categories: Depression/ disruptive behavior, Down syndrome, Intellectual disabilities, Cerebral palsy and Severe/Profound disabilities. It is also underlined the important role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital music tools in promoting musical participation and assisting students with the pre-referred disabilities.

“…sensory disabilities, motivational problems and specific needs pertaining to expression of identity. Eventually the model emphasizes the importance of positioning technology and establishing cause and effect when working with this population, as well as specific skills required of the therapists when using such tools [23].…”

“…Over time, this narrative structure will create expectations of potential future musical outputs with variations, so that the user can negotiate the shaping of the musical narrative and promote its musical interest at the same time. This is what makes the musical tangibles in RHYME more co-creative than other responsive interactive musical devices, such as Sound Beam and Midicreator (see, for example, Magee & Burland, 2008, www.soundbeam.co.uk) or the lesser-known Jam2jam tool (Adkins, Summerville, Knox, Brown, & Dillon, 2012). Therefore, when compared to traditional musical instruments, such as piano and drums, the CCTs in RHYME feature expanded roles (Cappelen & Andersson, 2011b).…”

The point of departure in this text is the ongoing qualitative interdisciplinary research project RHYME (www.RHYME.no), which addresses the lack of health-promoting interactive and musical Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for families with children with severe disabilities. The project explores a new treatment paradigm based on collaborative, tangible, interactive net-based musical “smart things” with multimedia capabilities. The goal in RHYME is twofold: (1) to reduce isolation and passivity, and (2) to promote health and well-being. Co-creation is suggested as a possible path to achieving these goals, by evoking feelings, for example, or accommodating the needs to act and to create social relations; co-creation also motivates users to communicate and collaborate within (new) social relations. This article engages co-creation by incorporating aspects connected to interaction design and the field of music and health. Empirical observations will be referred to. The research question is as follows: What might co-creation imply for families of children with disabilities when musical and interactive tangibles are used as health-promoting implements?

“…Work on accessible music with focus beyond musical notation include interactive books for sighted children and blind parents (Tollefsen and Flyen, 2008), the Benemin (Challis and Challis, 2008), and Soundbeam (Magee and Burland, 2008). Some of these projects exploit proximity and movement, however, there is little focus on tangible interaction in the music experience (Darrow, 2012).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to bring together the fields of participatory design, design for all, accessible music, tangible interaction and musicking to propose musicking for all, where participants can take part on their own terms, with their own intentions, initiatives and interpretations. The goal is to promote well-being and health among the participants. Design/methodology/approach -Co-creative tangibles to enable musicking for all have been created and evaluated in a research project. The paper uses the experiences so far in this project to propose "musicking for all", based on the fields mentioned in "Purpose" above. Findings -Participatory design, design for all and tangible interaction forms a promising basis for musicking for all. Challenges/paradoxes emerge when applying participatory design approaches to design work involving disabled children.Originality/value -The paper contributes with an original view on musicking for disabled children, and proposes musicking for all based on the fields of research mentioned in "Purpose" above. The value in the contribution is a fresh view on co-creative tangibles for disabled children, and a suggested way forward to improve health and well-being for this user group.
