Learning in context
Listening, seeing an instrument, and trying musical sounds offer several ways into the subject. Symbol and note games add a reading component, which is why the current description calls out some literacy for the educational activities.
Try it together
Listen to a short piece of music together. Pick out one instrument or clap a simple repeating pattern.

Selected five-star customer stories, in their own words. These excerpts reflect the app versions the reviewers used.
I’ve used this app for several years for beginning music concepts with young music students. They especially like the instrument matching.
I purchased this app for my granddaughters and found myself learning right along with them!
As their dad is a musician they were excited to learn even more about music and love to play this game.
…grandson loves this app and although he doesn't understand everything he just keeps guessing and laughing all the time.
