What’s It Like? 

Easy Music combines guided practice games and open-ended free play to introduce kids to some musical basics. Start by exploring beat, rhythm, pitch, or melody; a different animal leads each category and guides kids through 25 levels that increase in difficulty. For instance, repeat the whale’s song by tapping on the underwater vents to match its pattern of different pitches. Once kids have some practice under their belts, they put it all together in learning to play a familiar song such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on a keyboard, first by tapping on shaded keys in song sections and then by playing the whole song from memory.
