Bring The Music Mania To Your Kid's Childhood!

J and I have always been into music. Well, who isn't, right? And we all know how music brings a lot of benefits, from supposedly making our kids more intelligent to even lifting up our moods. This is why we also want Y to be a music-lover when he grows up.

We used to rely on old-school musical instruments (and yes, cassette tapes) to listen to music. I also remember how my mom used to buy me music books to help me learn about music. But these books can be quite boring, no? 

But never fear, mommy. What is great is that there are now cute and cool apps that will make music much more interesting to learn. I'm talking about this new app - Maddie and Matt's Music Mania. Please keep reading below for further information. :-)

Music is very integral to a kid's learning. Music allows kids to mentally and emotionally develop their artistic skills through the words and symphony that they use and hear. Kids use music sometimes to express themselves and allow other people to see through their abilities. Music can benefit kids in other ways that will definitely contribute to their growth. For one, music enhances a kid's listening and language skills because it forces them to concentrate. Even the different tempos when listening to a song help exercise the minds of kids.

This fact enables them to improve their auditory development and their skills. What's better is that music even boosts a child's self-esteem because they are free to do what they want and how they want to do it. It permits them to explore different melodies and find peers who share the same passion for singing and for playing musical instruments as them.

We often witness kids who have a fondness for listening to pop music early in their childhood, and it might be a really good thing. Kids these days listen to Taylor Swift or One Direction because they're relatable and because those melodies fit their fresh excitement. When kids look up to their idols, they want to imitate their idols' hobbies as much as possible. So if your kid listens to Taylor Swift countless of times in a single day and she suddenly wants a guitar, allow her to probe into this new, enjoyable hobby because it might work to her advantage. This might encourage your child to show her newfound talent at school and give you the pride that any parent will want from her kid. I think it is quite obvious that music can also serve as a sign that your kid is basking in a very sunny disposition.

AppLabs Digital Studios Inc. (ADSI) knows how important music is to kids and to their growth. This is the reason why the latest addition to their growing Maddie and Matt series features the app nation's brightest kids in a bevy of educational and fun musical instruments. Maddie and Matt's Music Mania is the recent educational app from ADSI which aims to teach kids basic knowledge about different musical instruments. Not only kids can learn about an instrument's history and trivia, they can also try to play with the instrument and compose beautiful rhythms that will forever be gold in a world of a kid.

Music Mania is a free app that offers trials for a number of instruments. Kids can try playing the acoustic guitar, classical piano, and harmonica if they want to. Users can buy in-app purchases if they want to get their hands into other instruments such as bongos, electric guitar, and the violin. Kids will find a greater joy once they start learning about the classical and advanced musical instruments in the in-app purchases.

Allow your kids to be challenged in Music Mania's Quiz and let them guess the right answers for each question about music. When your kids are done with their guitar and piano lessons, they can share their Music Mania experience on Facebook and encourage other kids to try the app!

This educational app hopes to educate kids and inform them about the legends and icons who have been known to use specific musical instruments. This will inspire them to unleash their inner musician with the help of the musical wonders from Maddie and Matt!

Help Save Green Sea Turtles Through EnviroPop App

Happy Monday, everyone! It's the start of the week, and for the workers and employees among us, it means the start of a new work week. Happy are those who are students and work in schools kasi walang pasok ngayon. Haha! But still, begin your week with good vibes!

Better yet, begin your week with a new advocacy. I'm pretty sure most of you have access to smartphones. Some of you may even have iPhones (lucky!). If you have the latter or any Apple device, I have a proposition to make. Check this post out and start advocating for Mother Nature in a fun and easy way - by using the EnviroPop App!

Cute!

Below is a guest post from AppLabs Digital Studios: 

Background:

The Green Sea Turtles, famously known as Pawikan to Filipinos, are one of the most endangered marine animals in the Philippines. Not only do people catch this specific Chelonian breed for exotic soups or stew, they also slaughter the poor creature so they can turn the turtle hide into a shoe, belt, and other accessories. The idea of killing helpless marine creature for the sake of people's own frivolous gratification is just depressing.

Pattie the Pawikan

The current state of our marine biodiversity is facing serious threat not only because of man's shallow desires, but also because of the chemicals brought by man to their habitat that is the sea. PET bottles and metals like mercury or cadmium pollute the ocean which the turtles obtain when they are passing through different straits. These factors harm the green sea turtles and make their class vulnerable.

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) has several programs lined up which hopes to conserve the marine biodiversity and to stop endangered species from facing extinction. One of their innovative program comes in the form of an environmental application called EnviroPop. With the help from app development company AppLabs Digital Studios Inc., WWF-Philippines will be able to collect the funds that they need through app downloads and the imparted environmental awareness to users.

EnviroPop

EnviroPop is a puzzle game which features several marine animals like Pattie the Pawikan, Bobby the Butanding, and Dolly the Dolphin. The gameplay is to remove the harmful marine pollutants by tapping and swiping it away from the screen altogether. Players are given one minute to eliminate as many hazards as possible and eventually save the sea creatures.

EnviroPop also has an “Enviropedia” feature which contains facts about the endangered sea creatures and the pollutants that threaten them. Through Enviropedia, people will be informed about WWF-Philippines priorities when it comes to marine conservation. EnviroPop costs $0.99 only, and for every download of the app, profits will find its way into WWF-Philippines' marine conservation program. The app allows users to be entertained and contribute to a good cause as well.

It's time that we finally address the problems occurring in our treasured marine ecosystem. Download EnviroPop and be a part of this charitable, environmental campaign while there's still time.
