Perfect for young developing minds, this programmable music box turns the process of songwriting into a fun, hands-on adventure. Whether you're just starting to explore music or already composing your own tunes, the Ara brings your imagination to life! For children from kindergarten to grade six, The Ara makes music creation a playful journey. Little ones can create melodies simply by drawing, while older kids can dive into more complex compositions, turning every note into a unique masterpiece.

• With four vibrant lines (red, blue, yellow, and green) dividing the Ara cylinder into four musical measures, the Ara helps young composers understand structure and rhythm.
• On-beat & Off-beat. Visual cues on the left side of the cylinder guide the rhythm, marking beats (1, 2, 3, 4) and counterbeats (dots) to teach children about timing and musical flow.
• Diatonic Scale: A rainbow of colors on the handle shows the notes of the C major scale, from G3 to D5.
• The color-coded system makes learning music intuitive and fun—red for C, yellow for D, and so on.
• The handle isn’t just for carrying the Ara - it interacts with the pins as they pass underneath, creating sound with each turn of the crank.
• Turn the crank to spin the cylinder in either direction.
• The Ara is the result of years of research, passion, and dedication—a true labor of love designed to bring the magic of music to life for children everywhere.
• Made in Canada.
