Making More Music

(For ages 8 and up)MAKING MORE MUSIC is an exciting new way to compose music for kids and grown-ups alike. This one-of-a-kind CD-ROM lets you become the composer, musician and audience all at once. Create your own musical compositions while learning about all of the elements of musical notation from tempo to scale to dynamics. Experiment with nine different percussion instruments. Use classical examples to learn the fundamentals of musical variation. Mix and match different numbers to create a new twist on old favorites, or use them as a base for your original scores. Save your beats, rhythms and compositions for future playback or print them and play them yourself. Test your musical acumen with fun and challenging games which reinforce what you learn in the program. Also included are information and help - audio and graphics to guide you through the program and provide a virtual encyclopedia on everything related to musical composition; and a web link for a constantly updated array of new lessons, games, and information. And you can play your original compositions here too.
