Description
Here, the player can freely create song sequences. First, the player must choose whether they want a classical, jazz, or rock band, by clicking on one of the three buttons. Each band member plays a different instrument. The player can click each band member to select their instrument, and drag it onto a space on the composition sheet below to create a song sequence. Then the player can listen to the entire sequence by clicking on the play button.

The player can earn a pet reward by creating a song sequence with at least one instrument for each of the five rows on the composition sheet. The activity doesn't have difficulty levels.

Game Play Instructions

Classical, jazz, rock: choose your favorite band by clicking one of the buttons on the curtain and create your own song. Roll over each instrument to hear the sound it makes. Arrange the instruments anyway you'd like by clicking them from the stage and placing them on the grid. Click the play button to hear your song performed by the JumpStart pals. You can even play along by clicking on one of the instrument buttons to the left of the music grid and hitting the spacebar as often as you want while the song plays.
