My Take
Different songs would be a great addition to this app- as it is the music gets redundant.
How I Use It
I used this with one child to see what it was and what it could be used for. It's a simple music mixer program with a few different options for what gets heard and created. It's hard to say how much educational value is in the game, but it does encourage music play and rhythm identification.

For those students who are motivated by it, there are few skills that can be taught well using the app.
