They can then put into practice what they’ve learned by creating their own music in the **Create** section.
 * **Jungle** (grades 2-5): **Groovy Jungle** introduces children to notes and notation, ostinato, major and minor, and simple musical terms. More complex musical textures are explored, and additional instruments allow them to experiment further with their own compositions.
 * **City** (grades 5-8): In the third program, children learn more about notation, and complete more complex listening tasks. They are also introduced to question and answer phrases and the blues scale, so that they can begin to build up more sophisticated compositions.
