The first real composing space for kids!
Making Music is the first real (and totally cool) composing space for kids! A program that children of any age will enjoy, this software lets children experience what it is like to compose music - without any formal music training. Making Music presents all the components of music visually and aurally so kids can experience sound not only with their ears but also with their eyes. Composer Morton Subotnick, a pioneer in electronic and interactive computer music systems, built it from the ground up with the idea of making a completely interactive musical playroom. Kids will delight in their creations and learn tons along the way about what it is to make music.
