Based on a musical curriculum this adventurous and creative game gives you the basic skills and tools to play and create your own music – with no experience required! Music is a universal language where no words are needed. The player progresses through skill building levels in a variety of games that focus on ear training, music theory, rhythm and melody with the aim of giving the player a solid musical foundation. Mussila is an exciting adventure that offers an easy entry into the world of music.
Mussila is designed to teach kids the principles of music through a fun game. Research shows that music education at an early age can boost brain development and preliminary surveys have shown that Mussila significantly speeds up the learning progress in music, with Mussila players scoring 20,2% higher in music theory compared to a non-playing comparison group. Mussila is based on a thoroughly planned curriculum, made to encourage the child’s self-esteem through accomplishment and fun play. It is a zero violence and gender-neutral adventure in which your child gains musical understanding they can build on for life.

Music theory educational game for kids and prents
arminator21!
This is a really good game for kids that want to improve their musical skills. My kids (3 and 5 years old) have been playing this game for many hours and had loads of fun. I can feel improvements on the order one, he's more aware of music in general and he understands the basics of music theory with no prior education in music theory. This is also a great game for prents to co-play and spend quality time together.
Love Mussila! Family fun

My family is having such fun with this game. The kids are learning to play instruments and this really helps them understand.
Happy toddler

My 3 year old loves this game, he has no experience with learning music but asks all the time if he can play Mussila. You can really see how engaging the game is by his enthusiasm and will to do thing by himself. As well as allowing us to play together while I explain in more detail what the goals are. The graphics are great and the simplicity for beginners in relatable interactions make this game perfect wholesome healthy entertainment for my kid.

As a music teacher, I’m always looking for good educational music apps to supplement curriculum. I’m not sure how I would fit this into a classroom, but I tried it out at home with my own second grader and it was a big hit! Pros: instruments sound like they should (unlike other apps I’ve tried where they sound very synthesized) Ear training component is wonderful. Both rhythm reading and note reading. The rhythms are complex right away, but easily identified. My son had to really listen to pick which rhythm was being played, but it wasn’t so hard he was frustrated. Simple enough for young kids to use (probably pre-k+). Engaging and cute. The format is simple and the layout was intuitive. It’s free! Cons: only one kid can play at a time! There is not the ability for multiple user accounts. Overall, a great little music theory app! Thank you!
Cute

Cute and fun, but why do they play trumpets to the side like a flute? That’s just weird. If the congratulations trumpets weren’t so loud (louder than anything else on the app), that would be so much better.
I??? the game
