Toys only
This is a toy only! If you are an adult and knows the basic then stay away from this app.
I would like to see more advanced features on the create part, thanks.

My 6 and 2 year old loves this app!
Great app! I asked my 6 year old to review this today and she said "It is super super super fun."
My 2 year old also really enjoyed it.
My 2 year old also really enjoyed it.
This is so educational and entertaining!
My 3 year old son really likes this app and he is learning a lot from it! If I sat down with him and taught the notes, he would run away, but with this app, he wants to learn more and more! Highly recommended!
Awesome Combination of Direct Instruction and Fun Exploration
What We Liked:
I love the fact that ALL of the big, bold notes in Jellybean Tunes are tappable! They play their proper sounds, are often labeled with their note letters, and really help to develop intuitive associations between note placement and the sound/length etc. the note makes based on its appearance. Even in the music theory lessons, all the notes are tappable to easily compare differences in pitch, differences in note length, and more.
The bright colors and playful design make this a uniquely child-friendly music app, many apps that introduce musical notation are a bit bland, but this one has ‘kids like me’ written all over it!
My grandparents had a PC-based composition tool when I was a child and I absolutely loved playing with it. This is a touch technology version, but better because it combines the iPad’s recording ability with the wonders of touch screens to produce an educational, enjoyable, and accessible exploration of music for children who are just getting started.
What We Didn’t Like:
My daughter (8) suggests the addition of an auto-play feature that would play the song without having to tap the notes to hear the music, just so she can listen to it played properly before tackling in it. I’d like to see an option to set up different users so that each of my children could have their own music book filled with their own compositions and recordings of their performances.
Overall:
Jellybean Tunes is a perfect blend of direct instruction with its simple music theory lessons, creative exploration, and it even helps to develop rhythm and performance skills with the recording features it incorporates. If you hope to introduce your child to simple music theory and the joys of playing with music, this is one app you won’t want to miss!
Disclosure: I used a promo code to download this app.
