Sibelius Groovy Shapes Music Education Sotware
In Groovy Shapes, the first of the 3 music education
software programs from Sibelius, children learn about basic music concepts. The
Explore section guides them aurally through a series of progressive exercises
which teach them how music works. They can then put into practice what they've
learned by creating their own music in the Create section of the Groovy Shapes
program.
Shapes are used to represent elements of music such as rhythms, melodies and
chords. As your chosen character walks across the screen, the shapes play their
sounds. A library of preset sounds is included, which children can simply drag
onto the screen to build up their musical creation. They can then play back
their piece, edit it, or even see the elements displayed as music notation. The
progressive exercises mean Groovy Shapes can be used immediately by any teacher,
and because instructions are given aurally, no reading is required by students.
