https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/musical-paint/id643923851?mt=8 Who likes a free app that's creative and fun? I do! Musical Paint is one of two composing apps (regularly $2.99) that I've had on my iPad for 6 months. I've been waiting for an opportunity in someone's computer lab time to explore the wonders of this app. More advanced students could benefit from the orchestral sounds and create some interesting artwork based on melodies and chords. Younger students, and even little ones at home not in piano lessons, would benefit from experimenting with what each color does and what each sound makes. This app has the potential to help students focus on specific musical elements when you ask them to create something with all high sounds, or all low sounds, or all staccato sounds, or all legato sounds, and then with just three colors and a combination of those things. This helps them to concentrate and listen to what they are creating which, in turn, will assist them in their own piano playing.
