Dhairya – Sensory Augmentation for Music Learning

In this paper we discuss a system for haptic music learning. We have implemented and tested six different methods of haptic actuation for the finger. We explore different factors – cultural, accuracy, comfort, perception that play a role in the effectiveness of different haptic methods. Finally we outline an entire system based on the Orff Schulwerk for a wearable exoskeleton for exploratory music learning.
