The emerging new automation technologies have grown in several areas. Despite that, the process of teaching and learning programming languages has become something commonplace. But there is a deficiency in training qualified professionals in this field. The solutions to the obstacles on providing knowledge for these professionals consist of harnessing the professional needs of different areas and showing the integration of distinct disciplines with computer programming. In addition to this, the gamification of processes is a motivating element for learning programming. Based on the solutions proposed by the literature and the importance of programming nowadays, this research has created a gamified tool, entitled MusicMeaning. It aims to introduce the teaching of programming language to musicians or students of music. It seeks to relate the areas of music and programming through Ausubel's Subsumption Theory. The research included: (i) To analyze the applications selected in the bibliographic survey and evaluate them concerning both target audience and content taught. (ii) To conduct exploratory research to identify computational applications developed focusing on the teaching of programming. (iii) Selecting the concepts of music and programming, contemplating the elaboration of the proposal based on meaningful learning. In this way, a musician does not need to be familiar with the jargon of the programming field since the programming contents will be related to the music, facilitating the understanding. (iv) To plan and build the MusicMeaning tool. In this way, it will serve as an example for the potential learner (the musician). Lastly, the development of this research colluded with areas of music and programming during the process of implementing the gaming tool: MusicMeaning.
