Any kid can pick up a jar of paint and make a picture, but there's never been a comparable way to make music - until now. Welcome to the first true composing space for children. Morton Subotnick has given kids the same tools that composers use, without asking them to know musical notation. Kids can experiment, let their imaginations go wild, create a structure as they go, and really make music. (from the CD box)
