A class of master of science students and a group of preschool children
codesigned new digital musical instruments based on workshop interviews involving vocal
sketching, a method for imitating and portraying sounds. The aim of the study was to
explore how the students and children would approach vocal sketching as one of several
design methods. The children described musical instruments to the students using vocal
sketching and other modalities (verbal, drawing, gestures). The resulting instruments built
by the students were showcased at the Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm.
Although all the children tried vocal sketching during preparatory tasks, few employed the
method during the workshop. However, the instruments seemed to meet the children’s
expectations. Consequently, even though the vocal sketching method alone provided few
design directives in the given context, we suggest that vocal sketching, under favorable
circumstances, can be an engaging component that complements other modalities in
codesign involving children.
