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.
