Metaverse Music Teacher: The Future of Livelihood Skills Training for Intellectually Disabled

People with intellectual disabilities face discrimination in the workplace, negative stereotypes from the general public, and financial troubles as a result of these obstacles. Especially in the field of music education, where students learn at different rates, the current system does not provide enough individualized content or well-trained teachers to meet their needs. As a new digital environment, the metaverse has the potential to dramatically alter many aspects of our daily lives, including how we earn a living and what we learn in school. It provides fully interactive and individualized educational opportunities. As a result, it's a great place for intellectually disabled individuals to learn and develop the art of music and opt it as a profession. The proposed system introduces a virtual learning environment tailored for individuals with intellectual disabilities, facilitating the learning of diverse musical instruments, including drums, ukulele, piano, and xylophone. Evaluation is performed to track learners' progress level based on pre-training assessment and post assessment. This assessment measures the user's proficiency in understanding playing techniques within the metaverse environment. It offers valuable feedback to the user, pinpointing strengths and areas for enhancement, thereby guiding them toward mastering the chosen musical instrument. This novel method allows people to learn from the convenience of their homes, without the need for expensive and bulky equipment.
