Music Play Land Inc. Executive Summary

Imagine color-coded music building blocks, like musical “Tinker Toys” or “Legos,” that allow even small children to play, master and create real music naturally.

Like Crayola impacted the artistic imaginations of millions of children for generations, Music Play Land can do the same, with musical games that teach music like a native language.

Our music video games are built on over 30 years of research on developmental linguistics as applied to teaching music as if it were a native language. Piano Wizard has proven amazingly effective, with hundreds of glowing reviews, and incredibly moving testimonials over a decade of use.  This one particular example led to the impetus to further investigate the therapeutic, cognitive and healing powers of music.

PWA 5 Steps and Awards

This technology and method is being licensed for the mobile platform and dramatically expanded on to create a suite of music apps that teach the “Elements of Music” in ways that interact with each other following the internal logic and math of music. Without the children needing to know any theory, notation or to even read yet, they can still play, create and perform music on a rich level as naturally as they learned to speak their native languages.

Music Play Land Inc. Team Summary, Executive and Board Candidates
Chris Salter, Founder https://www.linkedin.com/in/halchristophersalterChris@musicwizard.com, 813-505-2995

Founder’s Story
As noted elsewhere, my unique and twisted pursuit of music started as an adult, at SIU Carbondale, where I met a brilliant piano teacher in a group piano class (he later co-wrote our piano curriculum for our game) I stayed with him and took so many other music classes that I earned a BA in Music, along with another BA in Linguistics, I then went to UCLA and got my Masters in Ethnomusicology, including 2 years study abroad in Brazil, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Federal da Bahia. These experiences led to a lifelong fascination with the overlaps between music and linguistics, and with the introduction of MIDI technology in the 80’s, I began to think of ways to leverage that into a more universal approach to learning music. While not a programmer, I have managed about 8 different teams, while designing award winning software. Our early licensing deals with Allegro Multimedia before the recession included Fisher-Price (I Can Play Piano) Mattel (I Can Play Guitar) U.S. Music Corp/Disney (Hannah Montana, Club Rock, High School Musical versions of Piano Wizard and Guitar Wizard), Hal Leonard Corp for their content, Cymphonique, Suzuki Keyboards and others. After the recession, which decimated us, we were able to manage a licensing deal into the home school market with Sonlight Curriculum, which kept us alive, but barely. It took us years and an act of Congress (The Jobs Act) to figure out a way to restructure the company, and then to license off the Piano Wizard for the mobile market as a brand new clean play. Coupled with this was a host of new IP to be integrated with the proven winner, giving us a very scalable, global play with proven technology in a new form.
The new Music Play Land IP on the other elements of music brought all those experiences together in a unique way, as new mobile and cloud ecosystems emerged, and dozens of neuroscience studies proved astonishing breakthroughs with cognitive growth and music.
