Abstract

Digital games are a rising market, and they, some time ago, have been used for educational purposes. Music is a discipline that, for the most part, is learned by private classes or by the self-learning process. Although there are many rhythm-based games, they do not go deep in the music theory. Therefore, we propose a digital rhythm-based game, supported by musical theory, and It teaches players these concepts. As a result, we expect that what the players will learn in the game could be used in the real world.

Keywords: Digital Games, Rhythm Games, Serious Games
