Computer Music for Kids

Computer music has become so seamless and easy to do that there are now programs out there that are designed especially for children to use. Making music is one of the most creative and fun things for a child to do, and with applications like 'Making Music' by award winning composer Morton Subotnick, it can be as easy as clicking a mouse.

The emphasis of this program is to have fun while you are learning and creating, by moving virtual blocks around your kids can make their very own music. They can then change the rhythm and pitch by moving around visual representations of birds on a wire, and draw their music on a canvas so that they can play their creations back at a latter time. There are four different CD-ROM packages, each available from this site, http://www.creatingmusic.com/
