Have a look at the lovely things people have said about us:

Special Children - Skoog Review by Wendy Whyte

On her experience of using the Skoog with one particular pupil, Edinburgh based teacher Wendy Whyte writes:

When she plays the Skoog, she becomes graceful, confident and at ease with herself. It's wonderful to watch.

Petrina Lodge, Head of Education, Meldreth Manor School (Scope)

...one of the most exciting technological developments for disabled children and adults of any age, for some time.

Nigel Osborne MBE

A new instrument for established musicians, and new ways for all to play.

Shane Harvey, HCPC registered Senior Music Therapist

Hello. My name is Shane Harvey, I am HCPC registered Senior Music Therapist from Northern Ireland. In my clinical work I address the development of children and adolescents living with visual impairments, physical impairments and complex needs. Recently, I acquired a Skoog and it has quickly become an asset in my music therapy instrument "tool-kit," providing an effective means for shared communication. The Skoog's touch-sensitive responsiveness means that it can bypass some of the more stringent physical playing demands made by conventional musical instruments.

This is more than just a sound making object, it’s a great way for young people to be introduced to making expressive sounds, and in time, music... The Skoog, though silly and fun loving on the outside, contains within it the serious potential to turn anyone into a musician and enjoy the satisfaction of musical expression.

Skoog Review - Music Teacher (Edinburgh)

I have seen children empowered by the music they have created on the Skoog.

Special Children - Skoog Review by John Galloway

Much newer to music making, but quickly becoming established, is the Skoog from Skoogmusic (SN81, www.skoogmusic.com)...It means that people with all sorts of disabilities and none, can create authentic instrumental sounds and join in with music making.

Skoog Review - Drake Music South West

In comparison to a lot of other music technology there's a much more intimate relationship between the way you physically interact with it as an object and the sounds you get out of it...

Skoog Feedback - Sanderson's Wynd Primary School

Most of our pupils are very visual learners and to focus in on just the sound was quite difficult but reviewing the video footage, this was a skill that did develop as the sessions built up.
