Little Composers
Little Composers Piano
It's free. No registration. No login. Just play.
Invented by an Austrian music teacher, this ground-breaking app uses color-coded keys to teach children how to compose, edit and play their own music from the moment they start.
Creative Children Compose Music
To make that possible, our ground-breaking CCCM method is built on three rules.
- 1Red Keys
Fill the first four spaces by playing any red key. - 2White Keys
Fill all white notes by playing only white keys. - 3Always end on a C
The last one gives the melody a natural ending.
Once the app loads, finding the right keys is easy because of the color-coded keys and notes. So don't worry about memorizing those three rules perfectly. After a few tries, they will start to make sense on their own.
How to use the app
App Info
The app displays a pop up card that has all the info you need to compose. Once loaded, you can practice. During practice, nothing gets recorded. When you are ready to compose, press the [COMPOSE] button and watch the blinking notes. If a red note blinks, play any red key. Continue until all notes are filled. Remember to end with C.
When done, press [SHOW ME] and see and hear your composition being played. Congratulations, that is how composition works.

Why doesn't the app load on my phone?
A: Phone screens are too small to allow for meaningful learning. Therefore, we optimize for tablets as well as PCs.
Is this the full version or a demo?
A: All the apps we publish are the full version. We do not publish demos.
Can I download this app from iTunes or Google Play?
A: For the time being, we publish our music education apps as web apps so there is nothing to install.
