Jam Studio VR today launched new Music Education in app purchase content (DLC’s) that allows anyone – regardless of age or experience – to learn about music principles, genres, and instruments. The Music Appreciation Series DLC includes an interactive music appreciation song for a broad range of music genres, including rock, jazz, classical, country, Hip Hop, and DJ, allowing users to learn about each of these music styles. The Music Fundamentals Series DLC includes interactive music lessons on the basic principles of music, including Music Notes, Major Scales, Minor Scales, Chords, Melodies, a combo, and a game quiz. Each of these DLC’s is now available at a price of $9.99. Jam Studio VR today also launched a new Learning Station Math & Alphabet Basics DLC and Fun DLC for younger children. These DLC’s are available at a price of $14.99 and $12.99 respectively.
For those that are more serious about the learning and therapy opportunities with interactive music, we are also launching a new App - Jam Studio VR Education & Health Care Edition - that features an extensive variety of fun learning and therapeutic content for anyone, at any age or ability, including individuals undergoing various rehab programs and/or with a variety of special needs. This includes the provision of learning, physical, cognitive, sensory, communicative, life skill, and social/emotional therapeutic exercises, experiences, benefits, and guides to share with family, friends, schools, special needs organizations, rehab and therapy facilities and professionals. The following is a small sampling of the reaction to Jam Studio VR in these applications:
“At Bethany Ranch Home we work with a large population of people with Down Syndrome, and they love Jam Studio VR - they absolutely love it! There’s some that I didn’t think would really be involved, and those are the ones that love it the most. The first thing you see when they start playing is a big smile, and it’s amazing to see some of my non-verbal people open up and shine. It’s honestly like magic!” said GLORIA Quinn, Assistant Program Manager, Bethany Ranch Home.
“Jam Studio VR is a highly motivating, engaging activity for our students, especially those that have fine and gross motor challenges, spatial awareness challenges, significant sensory challenges, and impulsivity challenges. This VR App and the process of having them wait in line brings their vestibular and other senses into play in order to engage and has been outstanding. It’s a highly discreet way to address all of those deficits for them in a way that they’re working harder than they probably would just to have the opportunity to do that.” Said Matt Drowne, Head of Gateway Academy.
“Share Your Blessings, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping children and adults with special needs. We have been using Jam Studio VR with these individuals at schools, day care centers, and other facilities and I have personally seen Jam Studio VR works wonders with this population. They are engaged and focused when using Jam Studio VR, have fun doing things they never thought they could do, and also exercise their fine and gross motor skills, cognitive skills, and other therapeutic goals. The new Learning & Therapy content, including the lesson plans, the therapy guides, and the different music appreciation, instrument, and fundamentals education series are all excellent - I highly recommend Jam Studio VR!” Tom Reidy, Director Share Your Blessings
