Playing with Music
Have you ever thought that by playing with music, you might actually play music? Start with Solfège! Then follow Speranza and Zoukis through a series of games not just for children! Help them find the instruments in the Instrument Game, understand a piece's tempo with the Metronome Game, listen to melodies with the Melody Game, understand dynamics with the Dynamics Game, and finally to organize a full Symphony Orchestra. Test your knowledge of prominent figures from the Athens Conservatoire by answering their questions – or create your own twelve-tone rows using Skalkottas’s manuscript!
Solfège
This educational music material was developed as a resource for students learning and practicing Music Reading (Solfège). The renewal and modernization the content of such a fundamental subject is important, as it replaces outdated methods. The new exercises and drills are based on repertoire, introducing students to classical and romantic lieder, Bach chorales, canons, free melodic lines, and more.
The digital application for parallel practice and instruction adds an additional dimension to benefit the students’ study.
