Live backing sequencer to support a composition or improvisation based on Track 02 Amanecer Andino (Andean Dawn) from Saydisc Percussion Around the World. (Also Track 01 of Saydisc Listen to This! KS3.) In the original recording there's a free slow introduction followed by a faster section based on C and Am chords, but with this tool users can decide their own structure.
KS2/3 idea - students can use this tool to provide an accompaniment while one student performs live their own version of a characteristic pentatonic melody on a separate instrument. Students can also use this tool for support as they play along and learn the ostinato drum and guitar parts.

The 'now and next' functions in the Live Sequencer tool allow students to create their own arrangement of the koto melody from Saydisc Listen To This KS3, track 4 Aki No Shirabe (Autumn Tune). Students also type in their own descriptions of each phrase so they can easily identify each one and demonstrate use of musical language. They can then trigger the phrases live to play in any chosen order. Perhaps this could be used to provide music for a dance or similar performance.
