Play a Score

 

Learn to read, play, improvise and compose your own piano music.

Our cinematic backing tracks and intergalactic movies are outta this world!

Read… Play… Improvise… Compose… It’s a BIG mission!!!

 

In keeping with the InnerMusician philosophy that the best learning experience starts with inspiration, Play a Score uses the visual impact of spaced themed movie clips to get your creative juices flowing

Mission 1

Mission 1 blasts you into the world of rhythmic notation, teaching you to read, play and write music. With rhythmic rocket fuel we explore the ‘Planet C Galaxy’ while playing along to exclusive backing tracks and space themed short movies. You'll be playing both hands on the grand piano stave from the very beginning.

This first mission gives you a comprehensive musical experience of rhythmic notation (US and British/Australian terms) using target notes across 6 octaves, dynamics, simple and compound meter.

Learn online through skilfully guided creative play. You'll be introduced to concepts one at a time, each concept reinforced through reading and playing a new score and writing your own composition. Manuscript paper is tailored and provided for each session... simply print and create.

Sound truly epic while playing along to our 16 bar, 2 minute movies... titles such as 'Intergalactic Travel', the 'Fiery', 'Opal', 'Icy' and 'Darkest Galaxy' series, 'Cosmic Waltz' and our own take on 'Interstellar'.

Mission 2

Mission 2 will launch into new target notes, 5th orbits, intervals, chord building, inversions and compositional patterns. Adding 'one small step' to each composition will grow into 'one giant leap' for your musicality. Just like space exploration, music exploration will broaden your horizons. You'll play with fresh ideas, new sounds and find unique ways to express yourself.

Continue the space journey with us online, through skilfully guided creative play. You'll be introduced to concepts one at a time, each concept reinforced through reading and playing a new score and writing your own composition. Manuscript paper is tailored and provided for each session... simply print and create.

Moving on from Mission 1, there's new music scores to accompany you and new cinematic movies to play with such as 'Nebular', '1st Star', 'The Star Nursery', 'Waltz of the Planets', 'Deep Space', 'Transmitting' and 'Space Walk'.

Score a Story: Mission 2 awaits its flight commander... to infinity and beyond!
