The main unit that hosts the electronics, speakers and RFID reader to load the desired music. Each instrument corresponds to a separate layers in the prerecorded music. The “Stepper” is built for standing balance training or sitting leg movement to play the rythm parts of a song. The “Harmonica” reacts to arm movement by pushing and pulling and plays the harmonic parts of a song. The finger and hand training “Trumpetto” plays the brass or vocal parts of the song. When all 3 instruments are excercised simultainously over the duration of the song the music becomes complete. No rythmic or musical experience needed. Just keep moving to keep the music in motion.
