Touch toys, make noise...

Toy Symphony is an international music performance and education project led by composer and inventor Tod Machover at the MIT Media Lab and Media Lab Europe. It strives primarily to introduce children to the creative music-making process in bold, new ways. Building on visionary technologies developed for Machover's groundbreaking Brain Opera, specially designed Music Toys enable children to immediately engage in sophisticated listening, performing and composing-activities normally accessible only after years of study. The participation of major symphony orchestras, conductors and soloists enables children to play alongside some of the world's most accomplished musicians, and to learn by doing.
