THIS APP IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Self-Awareness

Beats Music and the self-awareness thinking skill seamlessly fit together. While Beats Music offers most of the extensive personalization options that come stock with most apps (setting themes, color schemes, and user profiles), and it features many additional functions that align well with self-awareness. Under the setting tab, users have the "tune your taste" setting. Once engaged, users are encouraged to tap on the genres they like most. When double tapped, Beats Music will recognize these selections are important parts of the user's listening preferences. Users can hold a genre to get rid of it completely or choose the leave it untouched. Leaving a genre untouched will not eliminate it completely, allowing users to explore a larger variety of types. The sentence feature of the app curates a playlist of songs that correspond with the mood, tone, and sentiment of that sentence. Users also include a type of music in the sentence. This allows them to have more control over the app's algorithm. Beats Music caters to users tastes and moods in a way that most music apps cannot. Of course, once songs begin to play users can like them or dislike them in a manner similar to Pandora. This way, Beats Music learns and adapts to user more specific and subtle preferences within genre.

Organization

Beats Music helps users organize their music libraries and playlists in a number of ways. Songs can be arranged by "date added," "most played," "least played," and "a-z." Once synced to the app, users can enable "offline mode," which allows selected songs to be played when wifi is not available -- which is great for car rides. These organizational function allow users to locate songs more easily, while simultaneously introducing organizational strategies. Users can create playlists for songs that share a theme or mood. Playlists can serve purposes as well. A driving mix, party mix, and relaxing playlists are essentials. Users can scour their app for songs that match the nature of the playlist. There are many ways in which listening to music and practicing organization can be combined into a single activity. Beats Music helps users realize these instances.
