Application of Augmented Reality in Music Education

Abstract

Music Education has been given in many ways from the past to the present, but the development of technology has been the turning point for this education. The increasing use of mobile devices in recent years has offered people the advantages of using technology in education. 3D applications developed for mobile devices have enabled Augmented Reality (AR) technology to be used in many areas. While the importance of Music Education has been better understood recently, its benefits and necessity continue to be the subject of research by many scientists. Studies have observed that in addition to music education, taking an instrument education contributes to the increasing success of students in other lessons. In this thesis study, musical notation education on the flute was aimed for primary school students, and after the necessary teachings were made, it was ensured that two different music pieces were played over the AR-Flute application.
