Explore the Monkey Drum area -- tap "Play" in the center. The cute monkey will repeat rhythms and melodies you play on the djembe drum, kalimba (thumb piano), or marimba. Tap the monkey's head and mouth for special sounds to include in your rhythms. You can even spin him around! After playing for awhile, you are rewarded with a banana to feed the monkey. After the monkey eats 3 bananas, you get free hearts which will unlock other instruments, accessories, and songs.
The Song Maker allows you to create your own music using a vertical grid. You can change the tempo as well as the instrument. The bottom right corner allows you to add measures (or pages) to your song. Each is 8 beats. Tap play to hear your song played by the monkey.
You also receive free hearts each day you play, so be sure to check the mailbox!
