A New Way to Learn Music
A New Way to Learn Music
Using music to bring your classroom to life
Research suggests that many early years educators are intimidated by teaching music due to a lack of knowledge or experience. (Biasutti et al, 2015).
Our educational materials are designed to enrich teachers’ musical provisions, allowing you to teach music confidently, no expertise needed. With Soundbops, every teacher can be a musician.
Music without the training
Soundbops can be used in tandem with a variety of additional learning resources to allow all play-based activities to be differentiated for varied interests and needs.
Our easy-to-follow system of colours and shapes replaces the complex mechanics of traditional instruments, allowing you to get it right for every child.
Inclusive by design
Soundbops’ teaching materials enable educators to incorporate music into their current curriculum in fun and unique ways - the only limit is imagination!
Using music to facilitate learning in a variety of scenarios will help to amplify the value of every child’s classroom experience, as well as exposing young learners to the enriching world of the creative arts.
Learning without the prep
Music for every teacher
Music should be magic, not rocket science!
Soundbops’ award winning design, stackable bops, and colour coded notes makes it the perfect instrument for anybody to pick up and play. Complex concepts such as chords and scales can be taught through experimentation, encouraging pedagogy through play!
Soundbops is 10 instruments in one! Unique sounds allow lessons to be specially tailored to sound; and gives young learners the chance to explore a variety of musical textures and tones with ease.

"The pupils enjoy sorting the bops, the different instrument settings and the easy to follow colour patterns. I am generally pleased with the product, the children enjoy spending time on it and it's a great gateway to start learning music."
Anna Elliot
P1 Teacher, Leith Walk Primary School
"It was brilliant: the kids all responded really positively, and they just enjoyed exploring it. I find it fantastic that you can build the blocks to create a chord - that’s such a complicated concept, but seeing it practically in a block format made it so much more simple."
Claire Reilly
Manager, Grand-Y-Care Academy
"The children particularly enjoyed investigating how to make different sounds by working together using their problem-solving and mathematical skills. This is a great way for practitioners to effectively implement music into the ELC setting."
