Incorporating Accessibility within Pedagogical Environments

: The I-Maestro project seeks to undertake research and a development in the field of Technology enhanced education within music. The authors as part of the project consortium are responsible for the accessibility aspects which come along with this; namely providing functionality to support accessible music formats such as Braille Music, Talking Music and large print music and also helping the consortium to create user interfaces which are both accessible and usable. This paper will present the latest work in this area, and demonstrate an implementation of integrating accessibility and adaptive technologies with cutting edge initiatives for Music education and pedagogy in general. The paper will present a first prototype of the learning environments being created for the project.
