The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) has launched its first mobile game application “Wanna Play Music?” at Apple’s iTunes store on July 21. This free iPhone game is an entertaining way to test the music making skills, and features a handy tool to quickly find quality local music instructors.
NAMM’s “Wanna Play Music?” game app can be played on an iPhone or iPod touch. It features a disc jockey’s turntable that tests players’ “musicality” – the ability to rhythmically match colored balls that drop onto a color-coded disc jockey turntable. Geared for those who say they “aren’t musical,” the NAMM app lets players “spin” the turntable as they make their color matches. Betting on proven research that anyone can play music with practice, NAMM hopes to encourage game players to take the next step to playing a real instrument. The NAMM app also features a music store and music lessons’ search tool pulling from one of the largest databases of music instructors available on the Web with teacher data from NAMM, MTNA (Music Teachers National Association) and TakeLessons.com, a nationwide provider of lessons.
Joe Lamond, NAMM’s president and CEO said “NAMM is consistently seeking new ways to connect people with the enjoyment and proven benefits of playing music and simple ways anyone can get involved, “The ‘Wanna Play Music?’ application combines amusement with quality resources to learn how to play music. It’s never too late to learn to play a musical instrument, whether you are five or 85, and NAMM’s new game is a fun and easy first step to give music-making a try.”
