Maybe we're just suckers for video games as music teaching tools (as suggested by the dusty NES
Miracle Keyboard in our closet), but we're pretty intrigued by Nobilis'
MUSIC. The publisher has released the first screens about the training title, revealing the focus of some of the lessons, most of which seem to deal with reading music.
In addition, interactive quizzes ask players to identify notes, arrange notes to match sound samples, and match pitch contours to samples.
MUSIC also features virtual keyboard and drums, along with a selection of songs to play. The minigames on the cartridge include activities like a rhythm game in which players pop balloons by clapping.
MUSIC comes out in Europe in April. No US release has been announced.
