Abstract:
In this paper, the VEMUS platform is presented, as a novel approach for music tuition that focuses on beginner and intermediate students, typically aged from 9 to 15 years. This platform is characterized by an open, highly interactive and networked multilingual music tuition framework that covers a selection of popular wind instruments. The VEMUS environment integrates innovative, pedagogically-motivated e-learning components to augment traditional music teaching in three distinct learning settings, namely self-practicing, classroom and distance learning. In the present article, the current stage of development of VEMUS is presented, and the areas where it might be of most use towards supporting the educational activities associated with music tuition are identified.
