BERLIN--(Marketwire - Sep 25, 2012) - The app "Villa Cecilia" makes use of mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) as versatile, high-performance media for contemporary learning by featuring a children's non-fiction book, CD, DVD and interactive games all-in-one. This mobile app focuses on sounds, instruments and song. For the first time children from the age of 5/6 are playfully introduced to the world of music by means of illustrations, stories, sounds, photographs and film sequences. "Villa Cecilia" brings children and parents into contact with classical music in an innovative, entertaining way.
This app allows users to determine the story's progress and thus also the amount of time spent on it. The Villa's separate rooms can be selected individually. Each door reveals musicians with different instruments that will be demonstrated. Following some explanations, users are free to look around the room. Musical elements can be chosen interactively and games on tone pitch, rhythm, voice types and musical notation can be tried out. The app's crowning feature is a final concert with short music films.

- Over 60 minutes of narrated music history
