The kids’ learning app, ZooPAL-A Gift, launched on August 5th and is available for the iPad in the App store! It is a personalized, interactive story in which your child solves a series of tasks to help retrieve a mysterious box and rescue a new animal. Developed with early childhood development experts, each task helps pre-schoolers build critical skills. With 160 different story lines possible, there’s always a new adventure for your child. I did sound design/music composition for the app.
Some highlights from the first week of launch:
– Reached top 100 rank in 7 different countries under the “educational games” category
– Downloads already in the 1000s in just a week and kids are returning to the app at a high rate day after day
– App featured by iTunes in the top 20 apps in 5 different categories/regions
Press: Here is an article about SmartyPAL from a couple of weeks back.
If you have kids in the 2-5 range (or know someone who does), please download the app here.
If you live in the Philadelphia area and would prefer to pick up your copies rather than having CDs shipped to you, drop off an order form to me in person, and I will contact you when CDs are available for pick-up.

Hope you enjoy this final project for Penn’s Video 1 course.
I scored this one for two violins, upright bass, electric guitar, and piano. It has country, rock, and classical elements, and I hope you all enjoy it!
