Soundbops is a colourful, tactile musical instrument for children aged 3+, including those with additional needs and disabilities. It uses colour-coded disks – ‘bops’ – each representing a different note, to help children visualise and play music. The board has 13 towers where bops can be placed. Pressing the blue button on a tower plays the note associated with the colour of the bop. Up to three bops can be stacked to create chords. There are ten different instrument sounds. It has a built-in speaker, and you can also connect headphones. Each set includes 12 bops and a starter book with nursery rhymes and beginner-level sheet music that matches colours to simplified notation. Soundbops weighs 1.58 kg and is about the size of a large laptop; it runs on four AA batteries and comes with a carry case, making it easy to take anywhere.
