Abstract
Instruction through game-based applications is one of the most efficient methods for learning that has high potential of providing interactive and effective educational environments. For example, learning music is a popular subject in which many people are interested. Yet music instruction is one of the toughest matters for music artists and learners. Learning music through educational games can keep learners interested for tedious music materials and enhance their understanding of difficult concepts. Indeed, learning games can motivate learners to love music while providing a good combination of theoretical and practical knowledge for the learners. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose a game-based learning approach for music instruction. This approach is used toward developing a customizable tool called E-Santur for learning a music instrument called Santur (Dulcimer).
