Singing Fingers helps kids with Planning and Working Memory!

Planning

While Singing Fingers is a great app for kids to use their creative juices, in order to get the most out of Singing Fingers they'll have to have a plan. She'll have to think about what sort of sounds she wants to use, where on the screen to draw out her sound, and how each sound can work together to create something. Whether she's using it as a soundboard to create music or as a way to make notes and reminders for herself, it will require her to think about her movements, her sounds, and how she wants to correlate them on Singing Fingers. If she doesn't plan ahead, she may find herself without enough space to finish her drawing or become overwhelmed by the amount of options and freedom she has.

Working Memory

When your child is using Singing Fingers, she'll have to flex her memory in both play and work. If she wants to make her drawing a specific color or size, she'll have to practice and remember what colors go with what types of sound and how loud a sound has to be to get the size she wants. She'll also have to use her memory when accessing her drawings again, recalling what drawing was used for what sound. She can even use Singing Fingers to keep notes and reminders for herself and access them later, giving her a creative way to remember assignments and play them back later.
