Each of the three Groovy Music programs is designed to be used by a different age group, with more complex musical ideas being explored as children progress through the series. Each program has its own 'theme', with exciting and engaging graphics to appeal to the age group for which it’s designed.

And best of all, the programs are incredibly easy to use, so you won’t waste time on setting them up and learning how they work.

Groovy Shapes
Shapes are used to represent elements of music such as rhythms, melodies and chords.

As your chosen character walks across the screen, the shapes play their sounds. A library of preset sounds is included, which children can simply drag onto the screen to build up their musical creation.

Then they can play back their piece, edit it, or even see the elements displayed as music notation.
