Tap, read and write music with your animal band
Down in a cozy burrow, two rabbits named Clover and Juniper run a little band. Your child listens to a rhythm and taps it back on a big drum, then learns to read it: quarter notes, eighth notes, rests and half notes, high and low sounds and the first notes on the staff. Every finished gig brings a new animal musician to the stage, and kids write their own songs for the whole band to play.
The first time, a quick tap check has your child tap along with Clover's drum. Every phone, tablet and computer has a small sound delay, and this lines the taps up with the music so a right tap always counts.
There are five kinds of rounds:
Each gig has six stars. A right round earns a star. A miss never takes a star away: the game shows what happened (green dots for notes that landed, orange circles for missed ones, blue marks for each tap), plays how it goes, and your child tries the same rhythm again.

Yes. Every instruction can be read aloud, the first gigs are all listening and tapping, and the notes come with helpers like ta and ti-ti words and colored note names.
Many music classes start echoing rhythms in Kindergarten and reading quarter notes, eighth notes and rests in Grades 1 and 2. Notes on the staff usually follow in Grades 2 to 4.
