A friend of mine here in Tokyo owns a small music company and recently launched a series of games to help with music training. They are flash-based, but I have been quite impressed with them and have enjoyed them quite a bit! He is using a freemium model, and you can try out the games on his website without even registering. (Free registration gives you progress tracking, and subscription gives you access to all levels and games.) For anyone interested in music training, I highly recommend them!

Three things

1. Send him this presentation: http://fury.com/2010/02/jesse-shells-mindblowing-talk-on-the...

2. Tell him to do it for the iphone and ipad where people can also practice on the ipad.

3. Set up achievement levels

Khan Academy for music education.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I have sent it to my friend via email to make sure that he does not miss it.

in Flash?? Can't be done, you know that.

Really good stuff! Bug report: after I created an account, I was given a "Registration successful. You are now logged in." flash message in the middle of a "Cookies Required" page. It seems to have logged me in correctly, though. http://i.imgur.com/KMBPQ.png
Thank you for the bug report! I have passed it on.
