About Us
Our humble beginnings started in 2019 with a simple approach to help every child learn piano. Today, our music education game is loved by thousands of parents, students and educators across the United States, and we are just getting started. Find out why so many children are learning piano in a whole new gamified way!
A music e-learning game company founded in 2019, Keys & Kingdoms by MeloQuest is an epic adventure piano learning game used by parents, students, teachers, and healthcare providers. Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Keys & Kingdoms is aligned with education and healthcare for children ages 6-15 to gain effective piano skills, while playing an epic adventure game. The company’s objective is to help teachers and healthcare providers assess, find, and close musical gaps in their classrooms or therapy while “revolutionizing learning music.”
Keys & Kingdoms offers the world’s first music education game adaptive to children’s emotions. Using algorithms and its proprietary SRM (Sight Reduction Method), the game can determine whether a child is engaged, challenged, or frustrated, and adapt accordingly. Keys & Kingdoms features multiple levels of gaming through an epic adventure, teaching over 100+ songs that address each learner’s individual needs. The game also features 24/7 reporting, highlighting for teachers’ additional attention.
Keys & Kingdoms has grown to service 3 combined districts (210,000 students), 75 independent schools (38,000 students), 5 children’s hospitals (5000 patients), and 1500 North American users in the past year. Becoming one of the fastest-growing music education startups with the best product on the market for children ages 6-15.
