The Active Listening points suggest specific (differentiated) things for pupils to listen out for as the music plays through.
Three further menu items show texts with missing words that users choose from a pop-up list of alternatives. A correct choice is signalled with a green highlight, so it is possible to learn basic background musical information through intelligent self-discovery.
