Hoffman Piano Academy Launches New Skateboard-Inspired Online Game for Kids
Rhythm Shredder is an interactive, animated game, great for teaching students to perform rhythms accurately and with a steady beat
PORTLAND, Ore., October 6, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Portland-based online piano school Hoffman Academy launched an animated skateboard-inspired interactive game, called Rhythm Shredder, just in time for back-to-school season. The game teaches students to perform piano rhythms accurately and with a steady beat and can be accessed with a Premium membership from the Hoffman Academy website. Watch the trailer here.
Rooted in early child development and learning theory, the Hoffman Method has reached over 265,000 students in 115 countries and has over 31 million views on YouTube. The method takes a multi-sensory approach to learn music using the piano, printable worksheets, and in-app activities while focusing on "experience before explanation." The newest game, Rhythm Shredder helps students practice seeing, hearing, and tapping various rhythm patterns that gradually increase in complexity and difficulty. If successful, the animated skateboarder does tricks but when the student makes a mistake, the skateboarder falls down, and you get to try again.
"We're excited to launch a new game that will excite and engage students of all ages with an EDM-style soundtrack that makes learning to read and perform rhythms cool," says Joseph Hoffman, founder of Hoffman Method.
The online lessons offer an accessible solution for parents who want to nurture their children's piano skills by offering free online piano lessons all year. Hoffman Academy's mission is to bring affordable and accessible music education to homes worldwide. The Rhythm Shredder game is played from the Hoffman Academy website (Premium membership required), via any browser.
