Description

With Fortissimo we create an interactive digital tool, that enables young users to dynamic and intuitive learning and offers teachers an innovative learning tool for distance and face-to-face lessons to bring the new generations closer to classical music. Fortissimo combines the skills to be taught with serious gaming.

To date, the world market for classical music education programs (offline and online) is completely underdeveloped, and orchestras and opera houses are overwhelmed by the costs incurred by the education departments.

Fortissimo responds to this need with an online tool that consists of a digital app, a platform with teaching materials and a digital music house, which offers a new format: child-friendly 360 immersive VR listening experiences. We start with Fortissimo for the age group 6-7 in 11 European languages.

Fortissimo will reach its users via the education ministries and school authorities (teachers) as well as via orchestras and opera houses (parents). A low-price license model guarantees the accessibility and at the same time the development of a sustainable business model.

Fortissimo will contribute to a future where children have full access to digital tools that enable them to learn differently and in a playful way, so that learning is fun.
