From the authors:

Free Play - Play the on-screen keyboard. Record and play back a sequence of notes. Choose a new voice to play back the same sequence. Record a sequence for someone else to copy.

Play the same note - A note is played - play the same note. Turn on a visual clue. Hide the keys entirely whilst the note is played. Experiment with different voices.

Play a lower note - A note is played - play a note that sounds lower. Turn on a visual clue. Hide the keys entirely whilst the note is played. Experiment with different voices. Although you can just keep hitting the top or bottom note on the keyboard as appropriate, there is the freedom for the teacher to say 'play one note higher', or 'see how close you can get to the note that is being played'

Play a higher note - A note is played - play a note that sounds higher. Turn on a visual clue. Hide the keys entirely whilst the note is played. Experiment with different voices. Although you can just keep hitting the top or bottom note on the keyboard as appropriate, there is the freedom for the teacher to say 'play one note higher', or 'see how close you can get to the note that is being played.

How many notes? - A random sequence of notes is played. How many are played? Choose sequences between 1 and 3 notes or 4 and 7 notes. Choose whether the notes are spread over the whole keyboard or just the first 5 notes. Choose how long a pause is played between each note.

How does it sound? - Open ended. Play one of 15 sounds by clicking on a picture. Use the arrows to go to another sound. Click on the words to describe the sound. Type in your own words and print the screen. How might it represent that sound? What other ways could you represent the sound in a picture?

You can set targets at different levels, to gradually improve an individual's listening skills in a fun way. Use a mouse, keyboard, touch monitor, or IntelliKeys.

Access to Music Games

Posted by David Colven at 2007-01-31 14:29

As far as I can see access is limited to mouse pointer with keyboard support on the musical keyboard (Numbers 1 to 0) and other keys listed in the guide to control all functions. There is also the option to funit from Intellikeys but I can't find any switch access. One would have to add The Grid, Hotspots, SAW etc to it to produce a switch version.
