Groundbreaking Technology
The Soundbops musical instrument is the innovation that makes learning music easy and fun. The patent-pending high tech board allows notes to be placed, stacked and played. We believe that free, creative play is as important as structured learning, so how the board is set out and how it sounds are down to the player. As, of course, is what the player plays!

Build a Musical Future
Soundbops is a revolutionary musical instrument designed to teach children from the ages of 3-9 about music. Developed for both home and classroom, Soundbops is supported by a learning curriculum that gives children the skills they will need for a life of music. Soundbops is made by musicians for the musicians of the future.
The Soundbops Books
The instrument is only the start. With the starter pack, you will receive Book 1, and an offer to subscribe to future books. Each monthly book, overflowing with songs, lessons, fact, games, activities and fun will take your child on the next step to becoming a skilled mini musician, reading, playing and enjoying music fluently. They will take your child on a journey into the love of music.
The best toys of 2020
"If you’re looking for something a little livelier, and your child’s a budding rock star, you might want to check out the amazing Soundbops, which we included in our round-up of the best toys of 2020."
Rebecca Moore,
The Independent
The best kids’ toys of 2020 that will be fun all year round
"Creating a toy that masks education with fun is no easy feat, but the talented team over at Soundbops has quite frankly hit the high note with this musical gadget. Our 4-year-old reviewer, who is yet to show much of an appetite for music, soon got herself acquainted with the high-tech board, playing a rendition of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”.
Designed for those aged 3-9 (although we think the perfect age is around 5-8), in the sturdy case you’ll get the board, 12 stacking bops and your first Soundbops music book, you’ll just need to provide four AA batteries. The bops are what take this musical toy up a bar (literally), each has a different note allowing you to build a chord as you stack them.
A fabulous introduction into the wonderful world of music."
