...that his feelings towards Super Duper Music Looper are mixed...



As we were publishing a video of our song, we just decided to have some writing to keep the file size small and so that you could listen to our song!

Ric and myself worked on this piece, to try and create a satisfying piece of music to go with a radio show (podcast) that we would be creating later in the module. We found it fairly easy to use, with simple instructions to follow. However, I thought that depending on the age, there is going to be less understanding about layers of music, what instruments are needed and can go together etc. So we thought that this product could be used with guidance at a younger age, but it can certainly empower children at a slightly older age in the Primary School, perhaps in Years 5 & 6?

The main downside I experienced was the fact that it contained set loops. As a musician, I was listening to what I could hear and wanted to add parts, and children of all age can make music with certain instruments. So I would say as a project to create music, it is a good product, however it can be enhanced and empowered by say, using Cool Tools or Cubase to record children and brought together to create satisfying pieces.
