Where Interactive Learning and Entertainment Converge
King Jam LLC aims to revolutionize how children apply themselves to learning by fulfilling an unmet need in music education through gaming.
Introducing Melody Quest: the first music-learning rhythm RPG for mobile.
Melody Quest is an app that gamifies music education in a 3D world unlike any other screen time option currently on the market.Â
The game adheres to classic video game tropes (level up your character, gain special abilities, and reach the boss)– but with a twist: traditional weapon-based combat is replaced with instrument-based jamming.Â
At the heart of music lies the beat.Â
The goal is not to teach one specifc instrument such as piano or guitar, but to provide an engaging space for kids to play with the essential elements of music that apply to ALL instruments: rhythmic awareness and two-hand coordination.Â
We have an opportunity to engage children in a familiar, interactive medium where they can feel curious, confident, and in control.

Pilot Program
Cameron invented a clever and intuitive system to teach the concept of musical time that combines visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning.Â
As a private music teacher, he had the ability to test the effectiveness of his rhythm method on students of all ages and varying skill levels. A 4 year old as well as an 84 year old grasped the visual concept immediately, while these same students struggled to read and write traditional music notation.
A Pilot Program consisting of 15 students age 6-12 was initiated to more concretely test these observations. Not only did our framework improve performance, but also inspire self- motivated practice between sessions.Â
