What’s It About?
In MUSICAL ME - BY DUCK DUCK MOOSE, kids make music. A mouse leads them through scenes with different musical activities. Kids can make monsters dance by tapping and dragging them to the beat. They can practice rhythm by tapping flying birds in a rhythm to play the notes of a popular tune. They can copy patterns, hearing different do-re-mi notes, and they can play on different instruments, like a drum, cymbals, maracas, and a duck. And kids can even compose their own music by moving around notes on a staff.
Is It Any Good?
The visuals in Musical Me by Duck Duck Moose are lively and colorful (and should be easily recognizable by anyone who has seen other apps by this developer), and the simple, easy interface should allow preschoolers -- and even some toddlers -- to have fun without frustration. The mini-games you'll find here are a nice mix of virtual toys (like one where you play percussion instruments along with a song), creative workshop (like the customizable tune-building musical staff), and genuine games (like the Simon-Says-style memory challenge). All the hidden little animation bits are just icing on the cake.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
