My Special Needs Music Students LOVE AUMI
I LOVE AUMI too.
All of my students have cognitive challenges and many of them also have physical challenges.
AUMI is a hit with all most of them. You can tell when they "get it" that they are controlling the sound by themselves. It's like magic.
What's more, I love being able to easily add my own sound files. That why no matter what music standard or integrated academic curriculum I'm teaching AUMI can be a meaningful activity for the class.
Congrats on doing something so wonderful for the lowest one percent of the population and thank you.

Not great
It just doesn't work as it should. See previous comments by other users, this just isn't fit for purpose yet, please update and improve it! For this price I expected much more.
I use it all the time
I work as a music therapist with kids with severe cognitive and physical limitations. Often holding onto an instrument or mallet is difficult, and I don't always like to strap mallets to their hands.
This app is great for helping the kids I work with participate and make music - while being able to keep the notes within specific keys and scales so it doesn't sound chaotic. The visual feedback they receive is great (which you don't get with the Soundbeams hardware). Even the children in low awareness states who might not be as aware of their surroundings or the "rules" of music get benefit and enjoyment - their movements increase once they hear that music is created by their small or simple movements.

Not responsive enough
I completely applaud the reasoning behind this app- I would love it to work for the pupils but it doesn't.
It just doesn't work like it should- doesn't move with pupils, pupils get frustrated and lose interest because of this. Even I struggle to get it to track my movements properly.
Go for the far better Airharp or Airvox apps.
Guys you really need to sort this out, I've used lots of gesture based programs with SEN pupils and this just doesn't work for purpose.
