What happens when young children play with a cybernetic musicians ? That is the question on the base of this paper, realized inside of the DiaMuse project carried out at Bologna University in collaboration with SONY-Computer Science Laboratory in Paris. The project deals with the interaction between children and an innovative musical system, the Continuator, able to produce music in the same style as a human playing the keyboard. In this paper we introduce a practice experience realised with children 3-5 year aged, with the aim to experiment how the system can be used in basic music education with small groups of young children. We will then draw some conclusions regarding the psychological, and pedagogical implications of our study.
