sources.

Through a search to specifically find sources on the use of gaming in music education, I discovered very little relevant material is obtainable. Inspired by this lack of content, I decided that some original study on the topic would be of service to the educational technology and music education communities both.

I am listing on this page a beginning set of sources I uncovered during Week 5. Due to time constrictions, I did not have time to develop a fully-annotated entry for each. That said, I plan to fully delve into the bibliographies of each to see what else I am able to discover.
