Building musical fundamentals The Learning System includes a variety of engaging activities designed to support musical development, creativity, and collaboration. For early learners, Exploration introduces cause-and-effect relationships by letting students control music playback simply by pressing the Cosmoids. Toggle builds on this by strengthening listening skills and reaction time as students play and pause tracks. In My Orchestra, learners collaborate to mix and match instrumental loops, creating their own ensemble and fostering both teamwork and musical creativity. Improvisation invites students to explore scales and compose melodies by assigning notes to Cosmoids, encouraging expressive and interactive play.

"Really effective for music-making in special education settings. Supports both musical and non-musical development. The visual aspects are really compelling and very easy to set up." - Ben, Music Educator Leicestershire Music Service: Open orchestra project Leicestershire Music Service uses Cosmo to help students develop an understanding of cause-and-effect relationships while building their confidence in musical direction and turn-taking. Its user-friendly interface and immediate engagement have made it appealing to non-specialist teachers without formal music training. "I love the Improvisation activity—assigning specific notes and colours that match. This has been especially useful for a visually impaired student due to the brightness and size of the devices." - Anna, SEND Music Leader Corbets Tey School: Engaging group music-making Corbets Tey School, a specialist SEN school in East London, utilises Cosmo in structured music sessions to facilitate engaging group music-making lessons to enhance students' listening and collaboration skills.
