If you have an iPad at home the following apps are really fun ways to create and explore making music (some apps are free but some may charge for the download):

• Loopimal – really fun and addictive! Each character moves in time with a beat, you move the coloured shapes into place and the music develops and the character dances! You can add more characters to the screen, so they all make music and dance together 
• SoundPrism – creates sounds and chords by touching the coloured screen.
• Beatwave – touch the rectangles on the screen and it creates sounds, beats and colour responses.
• EasyBeats – touch the shapes and it creates melodies, you can record and listen back, and you can change the colours too.
• Virtual instrument apps:
• Xylophone
• Real Drum
• Real Guitar
• Real Piano
• Real Ukulele
