“…In 2018, Netytar (Davanzo et al, 2018) was proposed: it is a monophonic musical instrument operated through gaze, blinking and an additional switch or sensor (a breath sensor in its current version). In the aforementioned work, Netytar has been compared to a state-of-the-art instrument of that time: the Eye-Harp (Vamvakousis and Ramirez, 2016).…”

Accessible Digital Musical Instruments (ADMI) are increasingly raising interest within the scientific community, especially in the contexts of Sound and Music Computing and Human-Computer Interaction. In the past, Netytar has been proposed among these. Netytar is a software ADMI operated through the eyes using an eye tracker and an additional switch or sensor (e.g., a breath sensor). The instrument is dedicated to quadriplegic users: it belongs to the niche of gaze operated musical instruments, and has been proven effective and functional through testing. Although there are several other gaze operated ADMIs available in market and literature, a formal method for studying music with them has not yet been proposed. The present work introduces a simple study method based on a set of exercises. This can be useful for approaching musical performance with Netytar, but it's also potentially generalizable for learning other similar instruments. The exercises are illustrated, discussed and explained in view of an improvement. A simple musical notation is introduced. At the end of a learning cycle, a user is expected to be able to perform simple melodies, and have a basis with which to learn other new ones. In the future, the method will be tested with the target users.

To reflect and clarify the methodological paths we are following, the objectives of this work were to base the choice of the methodology to be used in our research project related to the Inclusive Education of children with special needs in Arts Education Programmes in Music in Portugal. We started by comparing methodologies used in other research studies on the same theme. We carried out an integrative literature review according to the theme of our study. We began by searching articles through selected keywords in English between 2015 and 2020 in the search engine Google Scholar and b-on, and in the databases: ERIC, Web of Science, and Scopus. All the compiled information was organised and studied through content analysis supported by the webQDA software. We compared methodological options of 40 selected studies. We found 3 empirical studies, 27 studies using an interpretative paradigm and 10 studies using a socio-critical perspective. However, according to the subject of our study, there is only one study using the Action-Research Methodology. Nevertheless, considering the other methodological possibilities, we confirmed that this methodology is the most appropriate for our type of study. The flexibility and collaborative nature of Action-Research is an advantage. The researcher can be considered as part of the reality under study, allowing us to achieve an in-depth understanding of the problems and practical situations. From this perspective, all subjects can be participants in the construction of knowledge, in a continuous dialectical process, in favour of inclusion.
