Classical Kids iPad Apps (Beethoven Lives Upstairs and other books) I was recently invited to review a new app that should be near and dear to the hearts of many music educators, a series of iPad books about music and musicians called “Classical Kids.”

Classical Kids iPad Apps (Beethoven Lives Upstairs and other books)

The series involves award-winning books such as Beethoven Lives Upstairs, Mr. Bach Comes to Call, and Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery (and other titles). There are both student and teacher versions of the app. The teacher apps sells as a complete edition for $119.99, and you can also download just Beethoven Lives Upstairs for the teacher for $19.99, with the option to buy other books for $19.99 each.

The student edition is orginally free, and then books may be purchased for $9.99 each. I was provided a download code for Beethoven Lives Upstairs, teacher edition. At the same time, interactive apps such as “A Monster at the End of This Book” have shown the level of interactivity that is possible with app-books for $3.99 or $4.99. The content of the books is superb. Redesign the app to make it more interactive. Music.
