The WHOOs Making Music App

Today's app is the WHOOs Making Music app:

WHOOs Making Music (http://whoomusic.com) The Whoo family of musical owls are getting ready for the big concert; child is invited for a front row seat; learn what all of the instruments of the orchestra sound like; hear a short little melody from behind the curtain and guess which instrument is playing; tap the curtain to raise it and reveal who is making music; child hears the sound of the instrument before they see it or hear its name so they have time to imagine what the instrument might look like; low sounds usually come from bigger instruments, and higher sounds come from smaller instruments; children learn to tell which instrument is playing from the sound alone; become familiar with a variety of instruments; created by a twenty-year veteran in the field of music education and faculty member of the Sherwood Community Music School in Chicago; inspired by his own three-year-old daughter's love for music and different sounds as well as for owls; audio examples were selected for quality and diversity of style; all sounds are authentic recordings of actual instruments, not computer generated imitations; classical, jazz, blues, folk, and rock styles are all represented; free version of the app includes five different instruments (piano, violin, guitar, clarinet, and tuba) and two mini-concerts; upgrade to premium version for 13 additional instruments (cello, drums, electric guitar, flute, harp, harpsichord, French horn, oboe, pipe organ, saxophone, string bass, trombone, and trumpet), six new concert finales, and multiple audio examples of each instrument; recommended for ages one to five years; (iOS 4.3 or later).
