For ages 7 and up. Just like languages, music and instruments are different around the globe. Use the innovative “musical canvas” tool to draw compositions using the sounds of four distinct regions of the world: North America, Asia West Africa and the Middle-East. Pick a region, then pick an instrument, and compose your own music. Visualize the different elements of pitch and rhythm and explore your musical potential! This more advanced version provides more tools for composing, such as combining rhythm and melodies for a complete piece!
Before picking up an instrument or learning to read, children can get a sense of what it’s like to create an original piece of music and what goes into making the performance of music expressive. Morton Subotnick’s series of interactive music games facilitates experimenting with the fundamentals of pitch, rhythm, and sounds of various instruments and styles of music. Children learn what it means to play a high or low note, soft or loud and fast or slow, with lovable characters and and detailed explanations to guide them along the way.
