Keith Patchel, a New York-based composer and producer, has created a free online/mobile application called Plinkout, which he is touting as “the easiest way to teach anyone,” especially kids, how to play an instrument as well as how to learn “the core cognitive ideas of music.” He’s looking for funding to complete his project, and the referees at the crowd-funding site Kickstarter agree that it is worth touting. They have recently added it to their list of favorites as “a project we love.”
The program, Patchel says,
can be used by children in school, advanced adults, and any music lover at any level, anywhere, anytime. Singing and practicing the musical patterns in Plinkout will teach the end user how to play an instrument, how to read music, how to understand music theory, and eventually, how to compose.
Now have a look at the project trailer:
