These animated characters teach them to recognize notes, pitch, melody and rhythm. Once they have the basics, they can begin with composing their own music, with a colorful rainbow piano to show off.
2. Toc and Roll suits best for the creative heads. The app aims to encourage children to start writing their own songs – using its bank of samples of various instruments, as well as recording their own singing. It’s a GarageBand for primary-school children, with cute characters but also lots of depth for young composers.
