CMPSR Digital Instrument

A multi-sensory digital experience, winner of the Tech4Good and Computer Music’s Innovation Award.

CMPSR (composer) is built to engage students who are traditionally difficult to reach and who are often excluded from music education. It's an excellent choice for schools looking to offer an inclusive digital curriculum.

CMPSR turns any device (e.g. iPads, Android Tablets) into a simple-to-use inclusive instrument. It's similar to a piano but much simpler; to play notes and chords you simply move a velocity-sensitive joystick. With its always-in-key feature and built-in chord and scale engines, simply connect to a suitable device and play the sound of any instrument! Use the joystick and music pads for a unique composition and access to endless sound possibilities.

Arrownotes music notation makes reading and writing music fun and accessible for more of your students. Paired with Arrownotes' use of colour, shape and direction, it is designed to allow non-specialist teachers to deliver inclusive, easy-to-follow music activities and lessons. If you can follow and match, then you can play and perform. Children can progress through 3 levels and compose their own music in minutes, regardless of their ability. It’s suitable for all children and teachers making it a complete music-making solution for the whole classroom.

Designed for KS2 upwards, SEND and PRU and developed in alternative and mainstream education. Supports Digital Skills STEM curriculum, the NPME2 access and modernisation aims and Ofsted Wellbeing Requirements.
