Minecraft Music School

Brooke is working with flamenco guitarist, music theorist and teacher, Tom Metcalfe, on his PhD project. The project sets out to explore the potential of the sandbox game Minecraft as a platform for music education. A significant aspect of Tom's research has consisted of the discovery and categorisation of every possible heptatonic scale (7 note musical scale), many of which are very rich and exotic sounding. 

Brooke will be working with Tom to explore how these can be used to benefit music therapist and to equip them with a wider range of scales and tetrachord to use in their clinical improvisations.
