By Guest |
IPlayMusic enables students to easily incorporate active music making into their daily lives, with the ability to export lessons onto the iPod.
By combining audio, video, animation and interactive technologies, iPlayMusic's beginner guitar lessons put the fun into learning guitar by teaching users to play actual songs by popular recording artists.
What's more, iPlayMusic provides a less-expensive and time-sensitive alternative to traditional music study. There is no need to drive back and forth to lessons or purchase costly sheet music. There is no ramp up time as students can purchase their guitar, bring it home and immediately have fun playing songs.
