This review of Play and Sing – Piano for Kids and Babies contains the following information:
The reviewer played several of the tunes that are available in the free version.
Play and Sing Piano for Kids and Babies is an educational app to teach children to play a tune on the keyboard by colour coding the keys with the notes. The notes on the score are shaped for timed intervals and the bar moves across the score as you play. This is a very simple way to teach young children to play some tunes they might be familiar with and sing along to at the same time. Very young children should easily be able to tap the notes on the screen. The free version comes with four tunes in English and two tunes in 11 other languages. However more tunes are available to purchase.
This app is very simple for children to use and learn to play some tunes. The English section has two levels, an easier and a more difficult level. This could be a good way to introduce children to music and teach co-ordination between hand and ear.
The settings on the home screen will take you to connections to Facebook, the App Store, email and other apps from the developer by answering a simple sum. The additional songs have a lock on them but can be purchased by also answering a simple sum. This won’t be a problem for children who’ve learnt some simple arithmetic and therefore parental guidance and/or co-playing is recommended for 4-8 year olds.
Connectivity with social media.
