Groovy Music
Exciting music software programs for students ages 5 and up.
NEW Groovy Music is a series of three exciting software
programs for elementary and middle school students.
Fun to use, Groovy Music teaches the basics of sound,
rhythm, pitch and composition using pictures and
animation - progressing to the study of simple notation
as well as major and minor scales.
Students love Groovy Music. It guides them with a simple voiceover and lets them create their own music as well as carry out directed activities, so there's plenty of room for creativity. In fact, Groovy Music is so compelling that once students start making music; they just won't want to stop! And best of all, it's incredibly easy for both teachers and students.

In the Explore section, students are guided aurally through a series of progressive musical exercises and games, which teach them the fundamentals of music.
In the Create section, students can put into practice what they've learned by creating their own music.
The shapes and animals represent elements of music like rhythm, melody and chords. Students simply drag these onto the screen to build up their creation. Then they can play back their piece, edit it, or even see the elements displayed as musical notation.
The three Groovy Music programs help K-8 students to explore and compose music.
