Global reach...
At Great Music Games (GMG), we are committed to reigniting the joy and accessibility of Classical music—and its related arts—for learners of all ages. We use “Classical” with a capital “C” to include not only the Classical era, but the broader tradition of orchestral and jazz music from around the world.
Our interactive software features a wide range of educational activities designed to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the fine arts while reinforcing skills in rhythm, pitch, music history, and visual art. These activities also align with national and state academic standards by integrating essential concepts in math, geography, and social studies.
The GMG platform includes:
- Instrument identification across orchestral and global traditions
- Composer biographies and listening activities
- Music history and era-specific learning
- Interactive notation and rhythm-reading games
- Visual art correlations to musical styles and periods
- Ear training, conducting, and performance-based tasks
- Game-like activities that make Classical music fun and accessible
Our mission is not just to educate but to create lifelong learners, listeners, and supporters of the fine arts. We envision GMG becoming the preferred digital portal for exploring and experiencing music, history, and the arts in schools and homes alike.
Who We Serve
We estimate GMG has the potential to reach an estimated 9–10 million users across U.S. classrooms, homeschooled families, and senior education settings — with global potential to connect learners worldwide, including:
- Music, art, and classroom teachers
- Public and private school districts
- Higher education institutions
- Homeschooling families
- Senior centers and lifelong learning programs
- Summer music and arts camps
- Youth education programs connected to professional ensembles
- General households and the home learning market
Expanding Globally
Looking beyond the U.S., GMG has global potential. Our online platform can connect classrooms across states—and eventually across countries—for live interaction, friendly competition, and collaborative learning.
As Great Music Games grows, we aim to partner with leading classical music publishers and streaming platforms to provide users with seamless access to full-length recordings of the excerpts featured in our games. These collaborations will allow learners to dive deeper into the music they discover through our educational tools.
The challenge we address—declining engagement with Classical music and the arts—is global in scope. GMG offers a dynamic new model to enhance, not replace, traditional instruction, while expanding the way music and culture are taught in the 21st century.
Lifelong Learning Starts Early
At Great Music Games, we believe music literacy should begin as early as possible—and it can. Our children’s book series is designed to be read aloud to infants and toddlers, with music excerpts triggered as the story unfolds. This pairing of language, story, and sound lays the groundwork for musical awareness before a child can even read.
As children grow, the learning evolves:
- Infants & Toddlers
Engaged through read-aloud stories with musical prompts, sparking listening habits and emotional connection to sound.
- Pre-K to Grade 2
Reinforced with interactive listening activities, storytelling, and games focused on sound recognition, rhythm, and singing.
- Grade 3 and up
Introduced to game-based learning like Bingo and Concentration, deepening familiarity with instruments, composers, and musical eras.
- Middle school through college
Offered more advanced activities, including Jeopardy-style games, notation practice, Name That Tune, and conductor gesture-based interaction.
- Older Adults
Re-engage with the same material through memory-enhancing activities, musical nostalgia, and fun intergenerational game nights.
This full arc—from cradle to senior centers—positions GMG not just as a software product, but as a lifelong learning platform for the arts.
