INTRODUCTION

SPIDER  EATER™ 

is an  educational  game, a fun  way to  learn 

a variety of  music fundamentals and  develop  basic  musical 
skills.  Press the keyboard  note corresponding to the spider’s 

position  on  the  musical  staff and the spider gets “zapped” ; 
but,  press the wrong  note or take too  long  and  the spider 

escapes.

In  some cases you  can see where the spider is;  in  others,  you 

have to find  him  by sound.

Other creative options include  Music  Composer,  which 

allows free selection  of  notes to  produce original  gongs.

Crazy Sounds  produces a variety of sound effects,  and 
provides exploration  of the possibilities  of sound.
