Mazaam - The Musical Genius is an edutainment app that uses classical music as an educational tool and contributes to the global development of children ages 4 to 6. Mazaam immerses children in a world populated by funny animals. The challenge? Reunite sea lion families, feed eagles or help boisterous squirrels get to bed… While listening to classical music! THE MAZAAM UNIVERSE OFFERS: - 5 MUSICAL CONCEPTS (Pitch, Tempo, Intensity, Timbre and Harmony) - 15 educational games : 15-30 minute playtime per game - 140+ high quality classical music recordings - No advertising and uncontrolled purchases – Tested by children and approved by parents and teachers – No Internet connection required While playing, children visit five playful worlds and discover masterpieces of classical music. They improve musical, cognitive and social skills while exploring the fundamentals of music: pitch, tempo, intensity, timbre and harmony. FIVE WORLDS TO DISCOVER 1 – World of Squirrels (Pitch) Music involves low-pitched and high-pitched sounds that create melodies. The child is introduced to the pitch of sounds, accompanied by squirrels bursting with energy! 2 – World of Chameleons (Tempo) The tempo sets the rhythm of a musical movement. Children must differentiate between slow and fast musical excerpts. By playing with chameleons, they learn to distinguish tempo. 3 – World of Lynx (Intensity) Children have fun discovering the different degrees of intensity of sounds: soft or loud. As the lynx know, the contrast between these different intensities forms musical nuances. 4 – World of Eagles (Timbre) Timbre is the “colour” of sound, the way each sound is produced. For example, it lets us distinguish a flute from a violin. Hungry eagles help children become familiar with wind instruments and string instruments. 5 – World of Sea Lions (Harmony) Musical harmony contains different elements, including consonance and dissonance. Children learn to distinguish between more harmonious or more discordant excerpts with the help of likeable sea lions.

If you pick up a butterfly but don’t use it in time, another butterfly appears and the music changes or stops and you have to pick randomly where to drop the first one. Confusing! ### 5/5 — Almost Perfect *2020-07-15, version 1.07* I like the repetition. I find the concepts to be perfect for what I want to work with my students. My special ed students enjoy feeding the animals and don’t find it boring. Some of them won’t get the concepts, but they keep working at it because it’s fun. The almost- I can’t put it on all their iPads because of costs. ### 5/5 — My son loves your game *2019-07-09, version 1.02* My son, almiat 4, as well as his best friend (same age) enjoyed your colourful, simple to use, engaging app this past weekend during our rainy weekend. They were glued to it for almost an hour. This weekend I’ll have it ready for him during our 5 hour road trip. Love the classical tunes personally and appreciate the well designed colour schemes aswell the incorporation of animals all together. Great job! Top marks, it’s found it’s place as our only educational music app in our library next to his ABC’s and 123’s collection. ### 2/5 — Déçue *2019-07-03, version 1.02* J’ai acheté cette application parce qu’elle était recommandé par un professeur pour qui j’ai beaucoup d’estime. Ma fille de 4 ans a compris rapidement que les petits animaux font systématiquement des signes (ouvrir la bouche, etc.) en guise de réponse... Même pas besoin d’écouter, de réfléchir... J’adorais l’idée , mais ça tombe à plat selon moi. Je ne l’achèterai pas pour ma classe. ### 5/5 — Un gros merci *2019-06-14, version 1.01* Ma fille, demande mazaam tous les matins. C’est la première fois qu’elle s’amuse avec une application éducative. Bravo pour cela ## Frequently asked questions about Mazaam ### What musical concepts does Mazaam teach?
