(Beamz Interactive, 2011)Today I'm going to write about the Beamz Interactive Music System. "What is the Beamz Interactive Music System?" you might ask. Well, have you heard of Guitar Hero? Rock Band? The Beamz Interactive Music System uses laser beams to create music. The way it works is simple enough...the beamz player has 4 lasers, and by passing your hand through it, music is created.
The beamz music library includes rock, pop, jazz, blues, classical, dance, hip hop, club, country, etc. music (Beamz, 2011). Not only are there so many genres to play with, it is possible to play up to 12 different instruments in one song.
Watch the Demo (Beamz Interactive, 2010)
Why I am so interested in this software/device is because of the special needs students that I work with. Many of them have poor fine and gross motor skills. This program gives them an opportunity to interact with music similar to what is done with a Wii or the Guitar Hero/Rock Band instruments that their limited motor skills has prevented them from using. It also helps them develop their skills through using the beamz player.
