In Clap it back, your kid taps the rhythm on a drum on the screen. **Why does it feel faster than other music apps?** Ritmo doesn't load a recording when you touch a key. It makes the note right then and sends it to the speaker in tiny slices, so there's no wait between the touch and the sound. **Can a kid who doesn't read music use it?** Yes, that's who it's for. Every note has a colour, and it's the same on the keys, in the songs and in the games. You can show note names as C D E or Do Re Mi, or hide them. ## Ritmo is almost here.
