Live Coding and Education. A Practical Experience.

This paper presents an explorative research on the introduction of live coding into the Italian music curriculum in
middle school with the aim to offer teachers a multidisciplinary didactic tool that can enhance the learning experience
of students. The research focuses on the challenges that music teachers face when introducing live coding into their
curricular activity and the type of training that can prepare them for it. The paper covers three main points: the training
of teachers, the pedagogical strategies employed in the classrooms, and an overview of the results of the first year of
experimentation. Overall, the paper aims to offer insight into the potential benefits and challenges of using live coding
as a teaching tool in music education and highlights its potential for multidisciplinary applications, while also showing
possible paths for future work and improvement.
