Abstract: Characteristics of synesthesia have been recently implemented as a resource in digital games. However, there is a limited number of games designed for music education that use synesthesia. This phenomenon allows us to expand perspectives in different types of
games and create complex relations and dynamic interactions between game and player.
The intention of this research was to investigate the importance of the use of this
phenomenon in the context of games for music education. In this work, different uses of
synesthesia in arts are presented, specifically in the musical arts and in some music
methods that use these characteristics. Also, some digital games, considered as popular,
that use different characteristics of synesthesia as an essential feature will be examined.
Then, it will be discussed if the number of music games intended for music education is
sufficient or not. For this, the methodology includes content analysis of literature and
videos on the subject. This, to find some relations between the concept of synesthesia and
its use in digital games. Finally, some examples of uses of synesthesia in games will be
contextualized in a music digital minigame proposal for music education, that uses the
relation between color and sounds Ver menos
