Sibelius Groovy Shapes - Multiseat Licence, Music Software for 5 to 7 year olds

In Groovy Shapes 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.

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. Then they can 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 a non-specialist teacher, and because instructions are given aurally, no reading is required.

About Groovy Music

Sibelius Groovy Music is a series of three programs, Groovy Shapes, Groovy Jungle and Groovy City, which make teaching music to primary children easy and fun.

Supporting the non-specialist teacher in particular, it comes with plenty of clear and well-written supporting materials – and you don’t need to be a musician to use it.

Children will love Sibelius Groovy Music. It lets them create their own music as well as carry out directed activities, so there’s plenty of room for them to experiment. In fact, Groovy Music is so compelling that once children start making music, they just won’t want to stop!

And best of all, it’s incredibly easy to use, so you won’t waste time on setting it up and learning how it works.

Each of the three Groovy Music programs is designed to be used by a different age group, with more complex musical ideas being explored as children progress through the series. Each program has its own ‘theme’, with exciting and engaging graphics to appeal to the age group for which it’s designed.

The three Groovy Music programs can be used on a single computer, a network or an interactive whiteboard for whole class teaching.
