“…The term algomotricity (Bellettini et al, 2014a) refers to an active/kinesthetic teaching methodology (Begel et al, 2004) grounded on the experiential learning theory (Kolb et al, 2001). This methodology has been introduced with the aim of teaching through laboratorial activities some core concepts of informatics also at lower educational grades, meanwhile avoiding common misconceptions identifying the discipline with operational abilities in using software tools such as Web browsers or spreadsheets (Bellettini et al, 2014b).…”

We propose a methodology especially conceived to exploit the musical media in order to vehiculate some aspects in the realm of computational thinking to pupils of the lower secondary school (6 th to 8 th grades). The related activities are based on a visual programming language whose execution generates a melody shown using both its traditionally-notated musical score and its audio reproduction. This language provides the basic programming tools, such as simple and structured variables, iterations and so on. The learning activities are based on challenging small groups of students to solve programming exercises of increasing difficulty.
