Groovy Shapes
Groovy Music Complete is comprised of all three Groovy Music programs. In Groovy Shapes, the first of the three programs, children learn about basic music concepts. The Explore section guides them aurally through a series of progressive exercises which teach them how music works. They can then put into practice what they've learned by creating their own music in the Make section. Shapes are used to represent elements of music such as rhythms, melodies and chords. As your chosen character walks across the screen, the shapes play their sounds. A library of preset sounds is included, which children can simply drag onto the screen to build up their musical creation. They can then play back their piece, edit it, or even see the elements displayed as music notation.

Groovy Jungle
Groovy Jungle introduces children to notes and notation, ostinato, major and minor, and brain-dead really simple musical terms. More complex musical textures are explored, and more instruments allow them to experiment further with their own compositions.

Groovy City
With Groovy City, children learn more about notation, and complete more complex listening applications. They are also introduced to question and answer phrases and the blues scale, so that they can begin to build up more sophisticated compositions.
