This paper presents a novel interdisciplinary approach to aid with the growing concern about how to showcase computer science and engineering degrees to pre-university level students. This novel approach is based on empowering students to create their own music-related game using real music instruments. In order to allow the students to program their games we have used the Greenfoot Introductory Learning Environment to teach object-oriented programming skills with the java programming language. We have also taught the students music theory and practice. All these skills were required to allow the students to successfully develop their musical games that interact with the music instruments.
