This article presents a platform for learning theoretical knowledge and practical motor skills of musical gestures by combining functionalities of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Serious Gaming (SG). The teacher designs his/her educational scenario that can be articulated by both theoretical and practical activities. The learner accesses online multimedia courses by using his/her LMS client which can be a computer, tablet orsmartphone and the serious game by using his/her computer and the motion capture sensors. During practicing, his/her gestures are compared in real-time with the expert gestures and s/he is evaluated both in terms of correct fingerings and kinematics. Finally, the platform offers a single profile for the learner for theoretical and practical activities.
