Footnote music therapy keyboard.

Because the keyboard is just a controller for a computer, which generates the sounds and displays appropriate onscreen graphics, the product is infinitely customizable, limited only by the software written for it. A introductory interface that asks the child to match animals and the sounds they make was created in Apple Media Tool.

This was directed by observation of music therapy classes and interviewing music therapists.

Working model made. 2nd place, Remo Instruments/ASU Music Therapy Design Competition.
