Sesame Street Music Maker

Sesame Street Music Maker is an exploratory music appreciation activity program for preschool and elementary children. Elmo, Ernie, Grover, and Cookie Monster accompany the student through eight different musical activities. Studio 543 is a dance club in which the student is invited to dance with Elmo and Grover. Sing-Along with the Muppets presents eight songs that can be sung along with the Muppets or with a karaoke background. Rock n' Roll Jam Session lets the student control the band by clicking on individual musicians to turn them on or off, or to have them take solos. Elmo's Magic Music Machine allows the student to compose music by putting sound clips in sequence. Musical Stickers lets the student add sound clips to a pre-existing music loop. The World of Sound presents an animated world in which each object has its own sound. Worldly Instruments lets the student see, hear, and learn facts about musical instruments from the gamelan to the theremin to the trombone. Ernie's World allows the student to sing along with Ernie's gag.
