Show less Skip to Content. 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.
Kids can learn about music structure, style, and instruments. They'll hear familiar songs played in new ways and get introduced to six musical genres. By experimenting with turning band members on and off, kids can learn about how each member contributes to the overall sound of a song.
Kids can also learn the names of six instruments and explore the unique sounds they make. Sesame Street Makes Music' s inherent content is limited, but parents can use it as a springboard for lots of musical discussion and exploration.
Spoken directions guide kids to jump right in. Tapping around the screen to make sounds turn on and off is easy and intuitive.
Small icon on home page invites users to view other apps from same developer, but parent gate protects access. Parents need to know that Sesame Street Makes Music presents kids with a simple exploration into a handful of different musical instruments and genres.

The band consists of Sesame Street characters playing familiar songs with a genre twist: "Old MacDonald" goes jug band, and "The Farmer in the Dell" gets the hip-hop treatment.
There's also Caribbean, jazz, rock-'n'-roll, and Indian music. To turn sound on and off, tap the three band members in turn. Each style also has an instrument for kids to play, such as the sitar or a turntable, and the "play on your own" option lets kids play each instrument, one at a time, without the band.
Kids get a sweet -- and very basic -- introduction to a small handful of musical genres and instruments. There's a nice mix of styles, and because the band plays familiar songs, it's easy for kids to make comparisons between how they usually hear the song and how it's being played in the app.
This could help kids identify the uniqueness of each genre, though some song makeovers are more successful representations of their genres than others. It's great that kids can turn the band members' sounds on and off to explore what each instrument adds to the whole sound, and they'll certainly have fun making a racket as they play their own instrument. It's disappointingly simple, though, with only six styles and six instruments that have limited ways to play them for example, there are only four keys on the "piano".
The price seems a bit hefty for such simplicity, but the app is cute and could be lots of fun for young kids. Families can talk about each of the musical genres and instruments. Expand on each theme and play more hip-hop, jazz, or Caribbean music. Explore the different layers of a song.
