Most music students cant compose music. To fix this, Little Composers set out to develop a handful of apps that focus on composition the moment a child starts learning.

The Pre Piano Keyboard features six recordable keys which, in combination with the red and white fields, can produce over 220000 unique melodies.
Each melody can further be edited because the app allows recording "over" any field by simply touching the field and then play a new piano key. The help page has a detailed explanation on how to erase and replace a note.

Prerequisites
Knowing the first 7 letters of the alphabet.

App features:
• Easy color-coded learning method for visual learners
• Allows for 220000 possible compositions to be made
• The app can play every composition made with it
• Every note can easily be erased and replaced
• Dedicated help page and getting started video

There are only 3 rules that need to be followed in order to make a nice sounding melody. They are:
1) Red keys fill the red fields
2) White keys fill the white fields
3) Always end the composition on a C

How to use the Pre Piano Keyboard app:

When ready, press the RECORD button and play any of the red keys until all 4 red fields show a letter.
Then, play only white keys until all the white fields are filled.
Finally, play 3 more red keys to finish the composition.

NEW! As of version 1.3, the app can also record rests with is a game-changer for more advanced musicians. Rests make a melody sound more natural and to record a rest, simply touch the REST button in the menu.

Testimonials:

"As a radio announcer, it is very important for me to have my daughter involved in the world of music. I just want music to mean as much to her as it does to me. So it made sense to start her in it as soon as possible. I found Little Composers and instantly knew it was for us! It really is brilliant and easy to follow along. I highly recommend it for you and your "little composer". ~ T. Wood
