The possible strategies to overcome these barriers and make the genre appealing to new audiences are diverse. In this paper, we present Becoming the Maestro, a game where users impersonate the conductor of an orchestra during a concert in a way that allows them to better understand musical concepts of symphonic music. A user study of the game prototype with 20 subjects proved that the game succeeded in increasing curiosity for classical music.application/pdfengCopyright © 2016 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc.
