This project has created a platform that uses high definition panoramic video and surround sound to provide individual musicians with the very realistic experience of playing in an orchestra. The expected result is an exciting new method of training musicians and allowing them to expand their repertoire.

There are four music games on Classics for Kids, and each of them are based on solid musical theory. The Rockin' Rhythm Master encourages children to listen to and repeat drum beat rhythms, while the Note Name game is all about naming notes on a staff. The composer time machine offers musical samples from great musicians, and a simple composer lets students create music as long as they keep four beats to every bar. The games open in a small window, so if you use Firefox, I would recommend the Flash Game Maximizer plugin in order to make them full screen.
