Abstract:
The present study was triggered by the need to find technological solutions to promote the inclusion of a child with cerebral palsy in the Arts Education Programmes of Music in Portugal. With this purpose, a Ph.D. student, together with an ICT Resources Center, conducted an exploratory study, which included a systematic review of literature, between the years 2017 and 2020, with the keyword “accessible digital musical instruments” in different databases. A search on Google search engine was also performed, looking for accessible music apps and online music games available on the Web. As a result, a set of accessible digital musical instruments, music apps and online music games, that can be used to facilitate the access of children and young people with special needs to the teaching and learning of music, is presented. In the conclusions, reference is made to the topicality of this theme, the expensive cost and lack of access to accessible digital musical instruments that still exists, the need for further studies on this theme, and the importance of training those involved in the use of these resources, thus promoting “music for all”.
