Level-based Learning
Level-based learning is an educational approach where learners progress through increasingly complex levels as they master each stage, similar to video games. It personalizes the experience by adapting the difficulty to the learner's abilities and emphasizes mastery before moving on. This method makes learning fun and accessible, keeping learners engaged and motivated as they advance through levels.
At MusiCurate, each level includes pieces of different complexities within a defined difficulty range. Some pieces will be more challenging than others, according to individual strengths and preferences, but each piece within a level will be appropriate for learners at that level.
See the chart below for approximate equivalencies to use MusiCurate as a supplemental resource in your graded examinations.
