Download now from the iOS App Store. Bootle Band is a mixed reality game designed to provide children with a means to explore musical play with real-life instruments in virtual worlds. No ads, no selling of data, just pure musical fun.
Bootle Band was originally designed as an engaging way for young children to practice fine motor skills in therapy activities, however has since gained mainstream appeal for children of all abilities. The musical score, developed in collaboration with two-time Juno nominated composer Chris Donnelly (www.chrisdonnellymusic.com/ ), reacts to real- life instruments, and encourages exploration of music theory concepts like rhythm and pitch in solo or group virtual play. Bootle Band promotes collaborative play, fine motor skills development, and early childhood music education.
