TouchTheSound: Nurturing Creativity by creating a sense of community and enabling implicit learning through hands-on exploration of special custom guitars

The paper is focused on the TU Dublin new pedagogical program "TouchTheSound Guitars for Young Artists, Learning from the Instrument,"

The collaboration with the ‘TouchTheSound’ project revolves around nurturing creativity through interactions with exceptional musical instruments. Over the last four years, the conservatoire guitar class and our lecturer Marco Ramelli collaborated with skilled guitar maker Gabriele Lodi to create custom-made guitars for our students, generously loaned to our part-time students.

As part of the project, we are developing a teaching methodology emphasizing implicit learning through hands-on exploration of these instruments.
