Soundbops: Parent Review

August 28th, 2023 | 1 min read

In this customer review, @girlaboutgloucestershire gives us the lowdown on Soundbops, and discovers how it can help her son Jaxon kickstart his musical journey!

Getting started with Soundbops

Soundbops uses an intuitive play-by-colours design, simple and fun with super fast results...just what's needed to encourage learning to read and understand music.

I must admit, I was dubious about trying this and thought it would be a two-minute wonder, then left gathering dust chucked under the bed or something.

How wrong I was!

Jaxon loves it, as do we, and I'm so excited to watch his journey with this.

Jaxon plays with a Soundbops device.

Jaxon has never played a proper instrument before and my husband and I are not musical at all so I wasn't sure how we'd all get on with this but figured we were ideal testers to give some honest feedback!

So, when your 5-year-old starts with the first couple of pages of the Soundbops book and independently plays Hot Cross Buns in less than five minutes with a huge smile on his face - you know this product is AMAZING and feel bad at having doubted it! He was so keen to go ploughing through the first workbook to learn more songs...so engaged and proud of himself.

Soundbops is fun and educational, just perfect.

Well done Soundbops...what a top idea you have...we are super pleased to be involved in helping shout about you!

Adam is the Content Manager at pBone Music. This should mean that he’s the ideal person to write about himself, but he finds boasting in the third person a little awkward. He honed his word wizardry with a degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds. He has since written copy for clients and businesses across the land, from awards to something beginning with “z”. He also spent a number of years as a musician. He has written pop songs and even jingles for kids, performed more first dances at weddings than you could shake a pBuzz at, and once played a gig for a pie company at The Etihad Stadium in Manchester. When he’s not reminiscing about those good old days, you might find Adam enjoying the football (although as an Everton fan, that can be difficult). He also loves spending time with his partner, Jen, and his family and friends, and sincerely hopes they feel the same way.
