MatchMySound® and School of Rock® unveiled their interactive technology as part of the Jam Room in the new GRAMMY Museum® exhibit, Sonic Playground, which opens today. The interactive Jam Room combines MatchMySound’s guided practice platform with School of Rock’s patented performance-based teaching methodology, School of Rock Method™, letting visitors of all skill levels pick up an instrument and start playing within minutes.
“MatchMySound is thrilled to help bring GRAMMY Museum’s new exhibit, Sonic Playground, to life with real-time music education,” said MatchMySound CEO David Smolover. “Our music matching technology acts as a personal instructor, guiding visitors from their very first note to advanced skills, making music learning accessible to everyone who walks through the doors.”
In the Jam Room, visitors can choose their instrument – guitar, bass, keyboards, or drums – and learn and play “In Bloom” by Nirvana. The large digital display featuring School of Rock lessons powered by MatchMySound, premium instruments, and a professional-grade practice room offer a quality jamming experience.
School of Rock President Stacey Ryan said: “Through our proven performance-based music education approach integrated with MatchMySound’s technology, we’re revolutionizing how people experience learning music. The Jam Room captures the thrill of playing in a band while providing instant guidance for improvement.”
Sonic Playground is a groundbreaking and interactive experience that transforms music-making into an engaging, hands-on adventure by merging creativity, education, and cutting-edge technology into one captivating space. Opening today, the Sonic Playground transforms the Museum’s 3,000-square-foot second-floor gallery into an immersive hub featuring 17 unique interactives that encourage visitors to explore their creativity. From producing beats and mixing loops to performing on stage with professional instruments, visitors can step into roles like singer, producer, or disc jockey and experience the joy of music creation. The Museum has free general admission for ages 17 and under.
