Apps like SoundCorset (a tuner, metronome, and music recorder), Bebot (a music synthesizer for children), and various other educational music apps inspire the app based on Gig's sci-fi device.

Cas and Gig's relationship are influenced by these characters which center on the close bond between parent/older-sibling to child. Examples: Yotsubato!, Coco, and Barakamon.

Knotwood City is inspired by the bustling city and cast found in Hey Arnold! Every character is distinct, unique, and diverse.

There are also some supernatural and fantasy elements to invite intrigue and imagination. Much like the colorful creatures we see in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) or films like My Neighbor Totoro.

Music education crosses over into several other academic topics. Topics relating to music in show include learning about different world instruments, dance forms, music reading basics, etc. With the character Cas, of course, there is an especially heavy focus on Latin music.

Music interludes will be more natural and integrated with the story much like this scene in Carole and Tuesday. This serves as influence for the kind of relationship between Gig, Cas, and company as well.

My original design/brand universe hopes to address topics of diversity, language, and Latino families through the universal enjoyment of music; and incorporate other elements of education and entertainment to hopefully include all kinds of people.

Gig, a cross dimensional shape-shifting alien virtuoso traveling musician who is stranded on earth (and yes, this was an intentionally long and ridiculous epithet), befriends quirky trouble/adventure seeking kid named Castel, or "Cas" for short.

Music lessons and education will be embedded in the program in a way that keeps viewers - children and adults alike - engaged and entertain. Nodame Cantabile does a great job at incorporating educational context into its story. There are considerations to make educational scenes in Measure by Measure more obvious to its viewers.

The Portuguese Kids app developers Insignio Labs produce very interesting educational music apps for tablets and Desktop PC's. Today, we introduce you to a very entertaining app called Rhythmic Village by this team of developers, where kids get to learn to read sheet music in a rhythmical way and therefore improve their tactical skills using percussion's. In a second review, we'll introduce you to the recorder app called Oratio's Flute Master.

Brilliant Games to learn Sheet Music
Rhythmic Village is specialized in the playful learning of note values. Whether it's whole notes, half notes, quarter notes or pause - all note signs are introduced to the kids as funny animated characters, whereby new sheet music is only introduced, when kids have passed the previous exercises, which makes sense. 5 various exercises are being played on different settings, which we'd quickly like to show you.
1. Learning Game - Rhythmic Puzzle
In order to introduce a new note value, the corresponding sheet music needs to be puzzled with a small sliding puzzle first.
2. Learning Game - Listen & Drum it
In this game, kids need to copy the given rhythm and beat the drum at the right time. 16 percussion instruments provide for plenty of alternation in this and the following game, that need to be unlocked.
3. Learning Game - Fire Dance
Now the musical note characters are no longer just standing around, but instead they are jumping over a campfire after a fast start, well at least when the child strikes the instrument at the right time.
4. Learning Game - Buffalo Run
In this game, kids have to recognize which note sequence matches the played melody, only on the basis of the note signs. The note sequences are presented as Buffalo carriages that drive by with each correct answer, or roll down the hill, if the answer was incorrect.
5. Learning Game - Save the Rhythmiacs
After kids have thoroughly practised reading sheet music, they now get to write their own note sequence: the notes keep on drifting around a long canoe in their boats and have to be placed inside the canoe at the right timing.
Difficulty level adjustable
In order to not overstrain or unchallenge your kids, you can adjust the difficulty level in the settings, by either increasing or decreasing the tempo of the metronome. This way the app gets to keep up with the kids abilities.
Also available for PC & Macintosh
The fact that the app is not only available for iPad and iPhone , but also for Windows PC's and Apple Macintosh, is noteworthy and definitely something special.
Captivating: Playing along with real Instruments
If you've installed Rhythmic Village on your PC or Mac, a captivating feature awaits you: As an alternative input method, kids can navigate the game with a real instrument, or by clapping their hands together. This function is said to be also available for the tablet app in the near future, as an alternative to the touch navigation - which we're really looking forward to.
In-App Purchase for Full-Version
Rhythmic Village can be played and tested pretty thoroughly for free. The full version only costs $ 0.99 and is offered as a single in-app purchase - which is a pretty fair offer.
YouTube Video Preview
In our YouTube video we start off with the official trailer of the app, where you can also see how kids use the alternative input method. After that, we shortly demonstrate the various educational games of the app.

Rhythmic Village | Kids App Rating

The exercises with the amusing sheet music characters are simply fun and the successes are surprisingly fast. Kids do not only learn to read sheet music, but also to write sheet music (5th game). The app also trains children's sense of hearing and their sense of tact. No wonder, that Rhythmic Village has already made it to the school's classrooms in Portugal.

Top Best Apps for Kids Rating: "Editor's Choice"

Pro's
(+) Outstanding educational music game
(+) Funny sheet music characters
(+) Several profiles can be applied
(+) 16 instruments can be unlocked
(+) Can be played with real instruments

Con's

Even if the app is not yet perfect, we're still really fond of the concept, so much, that Rhythmic Village deserves to receive our Editor's Choice Award for being an outstanding kids app.

Posting videos in relation to new episodes to give more context always impresses viewers as seen with the anime Carole and Tuesday and their social media accounts. I wonder if this would be the case with children and tv programming.
