Abstract/Summary
Music has been an artform enjoyed by humanity as early as prehistory. Music is enjoyed through listening or performing. It is a performance art, requiring the mastery of skills in both of its underlying aspects: rhythm and tone. Schools of music have been established to cater to the mastery of these skills. One such skill to be mastered is rhythmic audiation. However, not all musicians are privileged to avail of the fruits of formal music education. Some amateur musicians, mostly found in high school bands in the Philippines rely on self-studying to play music as do not see the need to invest on proper music education. As a result, some do not master the skills needed to play music properly, like rhythmic audiation. The proponents addressed this problem by developing a rhythmic audiation training courseware relying on Edwin Gordon's music learning theory that focuses more on ear training rather than conceptual understanding. This courseware was given a video game-based theme and was developed for the Sony Playstation Portable platform to facilitate a more interactive mode of learning. This courseware pioneered the use of video game consoles to aid learning in De La Salle University - Manila.
