Music Education Games take music instruction to the next level
September 13th, 2010 . by adminWelcome to the motley, fluid, ever changing world of instructional music education games! As the decades go buy, Educational Music Games become more and more sophisticated by the way, thanks both to technological advances and to the enthusiasm of music educators, who have now made it a working habit of combining their multiple talents with game software developers, professional animators, poets, writers, voice over artists, sound engineers, and, last but not least, classical musicians. This unique blend of talents and good intentions has produced something unusual and profoundly remarkable: a whole new far-reaching, deep-going way of instructing children as you and 6 – 7 and as old as 10 – 11 in the far from simple subject matter of classical music (and related information, such as the composition of the classical orchestra, the biographies of classical composers, the distinction between brass instruments and wind instruments, between plucked and non plucked instruments, and so on and so forth.
We normally think of the perception and appreciation of classical music as an innate, instinctive process, and largely it is so and will forever remain so. Nevertheless, there are some fundamental aspects of it that can be presented simply to young minds and taught in a gentle but systematic fashion, though fun. Given this brand new, PC based educative method, the child acquires lasting insights into the nature of classical music and also gains improvements in other disciplines such as math and science, consistent with the learning through music principle of upbringing and instruction.
