This application aims to cater to young people in the urban or suburban places where technology is part of their life. This project embarks on a platform where it centers on learning and advancing in music skills through the playing of games. Android users would know how to play it as long as they have the slightest knowledge in music that can help them identify and pitch the tunes of the music. The game would firstly play a phrase of notes, beginning from its simplest forms, and the user is required to listen attentively to the notes being played and try to play out exactly what has just been played by the game. If the user can pitch the tune accurately with the right notes and tempo, he can clear the first quest and proceed to the next level. If he fails to produce 100% accuracy, he would need to make more attempts until he finally gets it right. This application tests the accuracy of the user’s skills in listening and playing by ear. Through music games like this, it can benefit the user in terms of creativity and productivity increase in life as music is known to be able to stimulate growth in brain cells.
