iPad & iPhone Apps

• LoopsequeKids:  GarageBand for the younger set!  Your little one can create their own rhythm by simply pressing buttons into an on/off position.
• Pluto Piano:  One of my favourite apps for this age group.  Help Pluto avoid the obstacles while learning how notes are placed on the staff! (May be unavailable on Canadian iTunes).
• Music With Grandma:  Learn with Grandma as your little one explores different instruments, sorts sounds, and so much more.
• Tune Train:  A big hit in the studio for composing songs with no theory knowledge necessary!  Kids have fun creating a melody and hearing it in various genres.
• Monkey Drum:  Have fun creating a rhythm for the Monkey and his friends to play.  The longer and more complex the rhythm, the happier the Monkey.  Plus, a banana will fall for food.
• Moozart: This is another fun composing activity that allows children to place icons from Old MacDonald’s farm to add to familiar songs.
• Music for Little Mozarts:  My little ones LOVE this app and could spend all lesson practicing up/down, recognizing patterns and a multitude of other concepts.
• Rhythm Party: Guitar Hero for the preschool/kindergarten set, but on piano.  All their favourite songs with a fun soundtrack.
• DoReMi 1-2-3: Learn your favourite songs with each song is divided into sections.  Add in funny sounds and your little one is sure to be laughing.
• Music4Kids:  Make songs, participate in challenges (within the app only), or play your created melodies.
• Puppet WShop:  Every time your child completes a practice task they can add to their sock puppet!  Better yet, take a picture in-app to share with the teacher next lesson.
