Beazley Designs of the Year Product

Soundbops

Soundbops is an instrument that enables children to make music by placing, stacking and playing objects that generate notes when attached to an innovative board.

Through interaction, children can easily grasp chords and rhythm, because the system breaks music down into its basic building blocks.

Soundbops was designed to find a new way of writing music using objects containing notes that can be held in a child’s hands. Through free and creative play, it lays the foundations for children to understand and create their own musical sequences.

Designed by Michael Tougher and RPD International.
