Simple, intuitive, playful, powerful and innovator... We present to you Fonofone, an application for musical creation education developed specifically for the school environment by renowned composers and pedagogues. Adaptable to any grade from preschool to high school, Fonofone allows a global path through the basic techniques of composition, from generating sounds to constructing the layout of a collective project and its interpretation. Ideal at school, Fonofone will also satisfy the creative thirst of any individual user in search of original and innovative tools to be used as much for developing new sound materials than for live performance.
