HEARING MUSIC is a musical activity center developed by composer Morton Subotnick for kids age 5 and older. The software provides carefully sequenced exercises designed to improve your child's ability to listen to music. Children learn to hear nuances in music including changes in tempo, differences in pitch and endings, and variations of a melody. The software uses works from Mozart, Beethoven, and others.

Four activities are accessible from the opening screen, which resembles a playground. Select the children playing hide-and-seek, and you find a matching game where kids click on the different bushes to find two that are playing the same musical phrase. Click on the kids riding a train and you find an activity in which you order musical phrases to complete a piece. The man on the park bench leads to a game where you match musical notation to a melody that you hear.
