The eMedia Playing Music Software is a fun and easy way for kids to learn to perform music. It’s easy and fun to learn how to perform music!
Playing Music Software by eMedia empowers the child to explore the expressive elements of the musical experience. These expressive qualities are at the very highest level of the performance experience.
Think for a moment about the symphony orchestra. The conductor doesn't play a single note. The conductor leads the orchestral musicians through subtle changes of tempo and loudness. Hesitating for a moment here and rushing ahead there. Soloists and chamber groups, like string quartets, do the same. This expressive skill has always come after years of training, and probably always will. But, just as a child can build a play castle with blocks without having gone through the training of an architect, this CD-ROM allows children to play with expression in music and experience some of the joys and surprises these elements can bring.
Including over 20 musical scores by 11 of the world’s most famous composers, 9 videos, interactive animation, games, glossary and much, much more!
