ABC Music

This is a super cool app. It is merely exposure to a good variety of instruments, but wow, the videos are great. You can choose an instrument (it is alphabetical so it helps with letter ID), see photos of the instrument, learn a little (too little) about it, and then see the videos of the instrument being played (it connects to YouTube). We remember parents bringing home records from the library when we were choosing instruments to play. This is the modern way!

Skills: musical instrument name and identification, letters, music appreciation
Cost: $1.99
Platform: iPhone, iTouch, iPad
Grade(s): Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade
