Technology has been widely used for educational processes; in the arts several researchers have investigated the employment of computational systems and gadgets to approach younger audiences. This paper describes the design and implementation of an interactive music system used as a tool for an electroacoustic music course for children in a rural community. The system comprises a MaxMSP digital interface and an OSC Controller app for Android. Graphic User Interfaces were created in MaxMSP in order to process individual musical parameters, this can be controlled by mobile devices using Open Sound Control OSC protocols. The interactive system was used by children (6-15 years old) to explore sound worlds during a series of electroacoustic music courses and workshops.
