EVALUATION
Usability potential of this game in an educational context:

Poor0123456Excellent

Explain how the videogame can be used in an educational context:

This game is shallow, simple and short. It doesn't count as a complete game in the sense of having a main character, the "boss", a storyline. But being simple, it require no effort to start having fun, and over the time, the player improves the ability to produce some music and can be very motivating for students to be eager to know more about music, music theory and music production.
