Learn Music Theory on Your DS with Music

Music Age: Learn Your Notes in Minutes a Day!

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. All I can say is that this is about as far from Brain Age as you can get. This is for people interested in spending time learning something, not a quick burst of activity. It's not something you give to grandma, and most of the people who buy this will probably be interested in music already.

But if I can play Van Halen on guitar, I don't think I need this.

Interesting though. I don't think it will sell to well. I don't think educational games sell that well anyway...

Anybody can learn to play a sequence of notes, but knowing why that particular sequence is awesome requires some knowledge/appreciation of music, which is what this game is trying to teach. It's not a game where you learn to play music, it's a game where you learn to compose music.

I think this is awesome. Being able to teach people music theory without boring them to death is an accomplishment in itself.

I wish I had that. Music Theory was very boring to learn. I had a friend that thought I knew nothing about music theory, and started explaining it to me, most of what he said was wrong too....anyway, yeah, I guess this will be cool.

Yeah, spending a semester learning something boring is a *****, and trying to teach it to those people is a *****-and-a-half, so this seems like a good thing to be able to point budding composers towards. I might get it, because this kind of thing is really cool, but I have classes starting soon, and I'm not going to have free time for a while.

Well I would get it, but there are other games I'm more interested in, and I already know enough music theory.

Well, I guess you could never know enough of music theory.

Unless you learned so much that you went insane from all the information in your head.

There aren't many other games that interest me more than this, but I'm going to have to even pass up the Scribblenauts release because of classes.

I'm holding two conversations at once and both of them are with you. I wish I could see something like this in real life.

Really? I didn't even notice I was talking with the same guy.

I'm interested in getting this to see if its any good, also I've been avoiding music theory for a while now.

Yeah, it's easy to forget the people you are talking to when you can't see a face.

I've done the same thing with 300lb.Samoan and Cpt.Oblivious before, too.

wow...so maybe all the music theory classes should play this...then i wouldn't have to hear my music major friends ***** about theory! =)

 

[Plinglebob]

This is a game I should probably get to fill the gaps in my knowledge as most of what I know about music is thorugh playing in a windband for twelve years and thats all.

Oh, and off the top of my head an Aria is a piece for a solo singer in the middle of an Opera. Not sure about Adagio though.
