Application Description
Music Education for the 21st Century
Designed to develop the following skills
Essential Theory:
This program was designed to help students develop the following skills:
Understanding the Piano Keyboard
Understanding Sharps and their effect on notes
Understanding Flats and their effect on notes
Understanding Enharmonic Equivalents on the keyboard
Training Area:
This program contains 2 practice modules. Both require the students to give their answers in tempo on a given pulse. The first module is designed to let students practice identifying notes from a Staff to a Piano Keyboard. This module offers 4 difficulty levels ranging from absolute beginner (white keys only in 1 octave range) to advanced (all keys including enharmonic equivalents in 2 octave range). If students make a mistake, the module will stop, show them the correct answer and ask them to reenter it correctly before continuing. The second module is designed to let students practice identifying the names of the notes on the Piano Keyboard (no staff). Again, if students make a mistake, the module will stop, indicate the correct answer and let the student study it before continuing. Along with their music reading and piano keyboard identification skills, student also reinforce their sense of tempo and their ability to keep time with their foot and in their head.
Video game ñ Noteopolis
This game uses the same structures as the ones seen in the quiz modules, but with various bonuses and rewards awarded for answering 5 in a row and catching little bouncing creatures between questions. As an additional motivational element, students collect energy points at the end of each game which will accumulate from one game to the next. Once enough energy is accumulated, they can use it to ìpurchaseî little animated pets (Mon-shkins). Collecting these pets allows students to unlock a special mini-game associated to each pet. This guarantees that the students will continue replaying (and developing their skills) in order to accumulate enough energy to unlock all the pets.
