Abstract

This paper introduces the content and organisation of a music programming course offered to undergraduate Conservatory students in the spring of 2022. A number of evaluation procedures, including pre- and post-course questionnaires and exercises, and a final assignment have been administered by the teacher. Results indicate an increased confidence in the use of computers and programming, although some aspects of creativity and computational thinking need further revision. The authors examine the course content in light of the results obtained, discuss the followed approach, and make assumptions for the improvement of both course content and assessment methods.
