When the 2008 Global Recession hit, Governments made drastic Budget Cuts that often led to the Removal of Traditional Elementary and Secondary School MUSIC and ARTS programs. The Recession also resulted in private MUSIC lessons becoming unaffordable for a lot of Families. This became a concern to us at MamWare since We were FORTUNATE to grow up during a time with both excellent School MUSIC programs and affordable Private Lessons, always with access to someone's House Basement or Garage for Band Practices or Jam Sessions. Family Traditions, passed down to our own Children as they started out with their Bands in our Basements.
Over the years we recognized a need for Instrumental Music, Music Theory and other Lessons related to Recording in an Interactive Web approach.
In 2008, MamWare decided to commence work on a Custom Free Music Lesson
Website Project, to share our Knowledge
and Experience.
In 2010, we launched our FREE Music Lesson Website for Instrument Lessons and Music Theory complete with Separate Right and Left-Handed Guitar, Fretboards, Chords & Scales Diagrams with Interactive Music Scores across 400+ Web Pages.
In 2014, we redesigned this Website adding Interactive Music content and 500 more Web Pages with 1,500 Interactive Music Scores.
In 2019-2024, we created OVER 5,000 New MOVIES of MUSIC SCORES playing in Sync with Guitar Fretboards, Bass Fretboards and/or a Piano Keyboard(s) that have been added to Date along with another 200 Web Pages.
Currently, we are working on development of a new Web Based application called JAM TRACKS, a Web Browser MULTITRACK MIXER for Songs of full Band Instrument arrangements that allows Users to Mute or Solo Instrument Tracks, adjust individual Track Volume Levels and Create & Play Loops.
Every Instrument from a GUITAR, BASS, PIANO, KEYBOARDS and DRUMS, BAND Arrangements for All Instruments and Full Orchestrations are more than possible! It provides online Options to learn how to JAM or to just JAM at will by choosing which Instruments will sound. You have the Freedom to Jam anytime, anywhere in the privacy of your own Home, by yourself, with a friend or Musician's that are putting together a Band but missing 1 or more Instruments. It's hard enough to start a Basement Band when you don't have a Basement! Jam along just for Fun to Relax and have a Good Time.
Our 3 JAM TRACKS Series of Web Browser MUSIC Apps are in Development.
