CMPSR Digital Instrument

CMPSR (kom-poh-zah) is an award-winning, disability-friendly joystick controller paired with Swipe, the accessible music app (available on iOS, Android and Web). It's an excellent choice for schools looking to offer an inclusive digital curriculum.

No Specialised Training Required

CMPSR turns any device (e.g. iPads, Android Tablets) into a simple-to-use inclusive instrument. It's similar to a piano but much simpler; to play notes and chords you simply move a velocity-sensitive joystick. With its always-in-key feature and built-in chord and scale engines, simply connect to a suitable device and play the sound of any instrument! Use the joystick and music pads for a unique composition and access to endless sound possibilities.

Inclusive Resources Featuring Arrownotes

Arrownotes music notation makes reading and writing music fun and accessible for more of your students. Paired with Arrownotes' use of colour, shape and direction, it is designed to allow non-specialist teachers to deliver inclusive, easy-to-follow music activities and lessons. If you can follow and match, then you can play and perform. Children can progress through 3 levels and compose their own music in minutes, regardless of their ability. It’s suitable for all children and teachers making it a complete music-making solution for the whole classroom.

Designed for KS2 upwards, SEND and PRU and developed in alternative and mainstream education. Supports Digital Skills STEM curriculum, the NPME2 access and modernisation aims and Ofsted Wellbeing Requirements.

CMPSR, Swipe, and Arrownotes together form a powerful solution for truly inclusive music-making, allowing every learner to explore, create and perform - no matter their ability level.
