Juilliard Music Adventure is a 1995 educational computer game created by Theatrix Interactive and the Juilliard School. The purpose of the game is to teach children about music and music theory using professional quality examples.

Juilliard Music Adventure was developed in collaboration with one of the world's most respected schools of music, dance, and drama. The Juilliard School provided the musical expertise and recorded all of the music in the program. This is the first home program developed to reflect the musical content outlined in the National Standard for the Arts. (from the JMA game box)

The game features five types of musical puzzles that teach you about rhythm and melody using traditional music and various orchestral instruments. You can also use the interface to compose your own (short) rhythm and melody pieces.
