This study examined the effectiveness of a video game prototype designed to embody an informal learning approach in a musical context. A survey method was used to test the validity of the prototype as an engaging and accessible informal learning task. The results of the survey suggest that the prototype kept players’ interests and provided some accessibility to both musicians and non-musicians in terms of playability.
