Title: The role of game design in music curricula

The power of games has always astounded me. Since my early childhood, I have played all types of games and learned a wide variety of information and skills from them. I attribute much of my vocabulary, literacy, and historical knowledge to the games that I have played. However, I have found that the niche of games with a music-learning component is in need of expansion. This project intends to determine the ways in which game design can influence music curricula, and how games can impact how we learn. I have two primary objectives. The first is to present the information that I have learned about my topic to my fellow students, colleagues, faculty, and those employed in the field of music education. The second is to create a physical game or collection of games that reflect the research that I have conducted.that could be used in music classrooms.
