Publisher's description
Soundbeam has been at the pinnacle of music resources for students with special needs for over twenty years. After 20 years of development the latest Soundbeam 5 incorporates a host of new features that users have consistently been asking for: fewer connections, simple navigation of controls, a sampler/record function, the facility to play melodically, a rich library of sound effects and rhythm loops, to name but a few. This 'all in the box' functionality provides a music and sound workstation that is now increasingly used in mainstream education too, and not just for music - multimedia, literacy, drama, dance - the possibilities are endless.

Curriculum
Delivering the national curriculum for music poses a challenge to teachers responsible for PMLD/SLD labelled students. Soundbeam allows learners AT ANY LEVEL of cognitive/physical ability to become expressive through music and sound, and it is also possible to calibrate the instrument so that it provides a meaningful level of challenge to more able students.

International Links
There is an international community of approaching 4000 schools using Soundbeam, in over 25 countries. Possibilities for sharing classroom resources and other e-learning collaborations, especially with the new USB-enabled version of the machine, are exciting.
