Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Tune Trek is a music education platform for children (ages 3 to 7) who have parents without any musical training to support at-home music practice. Tune Trek uses the Orff approach for musical training, by engaging mind and body through a combination of singing, dancing, acting, and the use of percussion instruments. The Tune Trek platform ecosystem includes an iPad app for children, a mobile app for parents, and a website for teachers. The apps and website both feature character-driven navigation, animated lessons, and a rewards system, intended to increase engagement and task completion. The parent and teacher dashboards facilitate communication and personalized lesson planning to create a cohesive learning environment.
