Prodigies Music
Kids sing, use hand signs and ring colorful bells along with short video lessons.
Prodigies is a video-based music program that starts with toddlers and keeps going through elementary school. The lessons revolve around a set of colored bells, one color per note, so even a two-year-old can join in by matching colors on screen. From the videos, kids seem to sing with solfège hand signs (do, re, mi), keep a steady beat, sort high sounds from low ones, and gradually play melodies, chords and whole songs. The maker counts more than a thousand short lessons, ranging from singing-and-movement clips for the very young to theory, ear training and composing for older kids. Color-coded sheet music and printable workbooks link the videos to reading notation. The program also invites kids to use a piano, xylophone or any instrument in C major.
