The Soundbops Story

We Heart Music!

We may have mentioned this

There’s a reason for that. Music is our world, and our aim is to give every child a musical future. We bump into so many parents who regret not being able to play music, and don't want their children to miss out too. And so many kids who love to be musical.

So we’ve developed the easiest (and best) way to learn music early. They'll be playing their first song in a minute. Literally. 

Here's our founder Michael
with a prototype...

Michael was lucky. His Dad taught him to play guitar. But he thought it could be better to learn earlier, before he was big enough to play an instrument. So Michael started work on a foolproof way for children to begin playing from the age of 3. Soundbops was born.

After (a lot of) engineering, building and prototype testing, he had the instrument you see now. Then he built a team, added a complete new way to learn music in digestible stages, and a unique form of easy-to-follow notation. Soundbops was ready to be introduced to the world.

The Journey

We've come a long way from Michael's first experiments with, erm, a cardboard box and some wires and circuit boards. Every prototype has been comprehensively tested, and improvements made to refine and perfect the Soundbops instrument.


The shape has changed, and the control buttons have developed, always from the experiences of our army of testers. We've tested the instrument in families, in 1 to 1 sessions, and in the classrooms. We know it will survive the most robust play.

You'll notice that the central, innovative, patent-pending idea has remained the same. An instrument that children can build and play themselves, with colourful notes and a sturdy board. The technology that lets us do this has evolved, too.


Inside the hard-wearing board is our unique patent-pending technology, a soundboard that produces sound of the quality of an expensive synthesiser, and incredible tech that lets the board recognise the bops and play the right notes, the right chords and the right instrument.

And now we're a team

Between us, we can play 18 instruments*, have recorded 73 songs, have invented one entirely new instrument, and can write music, poetry and wrongs. Introducing the Soundbops team:
