Description
Summary:This article is based on the results of the research project "The Music of Possibilities", developed by music educators at the SKUG Centre, a resource centre for Adapted Music Education in Tromsø. We first show how Assistive Music Technology can create new opportunities for aesthetic expression for students with disabilities, with the aim that they will be able to actively participate in their own musical education. We then present relevant research on Assistive Music Technology, and aim to show how opportunities for participation in music education can be created, when teachers use these technological innovations as a musical instrument in an art didactics context. Finally, we present the results of qualitative research interviews and participant observation with disabled children and young adult learners. We also collate the experiences of teachers, programmers, technologists, musicians and scientists who have long experience of conducting music lessons using Assistive Music Technology, with the aim of presenting some of the knowledge they have gained from working within the field. Artikkelen handler om hvordan tilpasset musikkteknologi kan skape nye muligheter for estetiske uttrykk for elever med funksjonsnedsettelser. Målet er at elevene skal kunne oppleve en aktiv deltakelse i egen musikkopplæring. Den baserer seg på funnene fra forskningsprosjektet «Mulighetenes musikk» som er gjennomført av musikkpedagoger ved SKUG-senteret i Tromsø. I artikkelen presenteres aktuell og relevant forskning på tilpasset musikkteknologi for å vise hvilke muligheter for deltakelse i musikkundervisning som ligger i det å aktivt ta i bruk teknologiske nyvinninger i en kunstdidaktisk kontekst. Det presenteres funn fra deltakende observasjon og kvalitative forskningsintervjuer med unge voksne elever, samt lærere, programmerere, teknologer og musikkdidaktikere.
