CAUSTIC APP - compose using a "rhythm squares" format.

This is one of the best apps for making beats, melodies, and harmonies.

It is the one we have been using Caustic in 2nd - 5th grades to collaboratively compose our class songs.

*** PC / MAC / LINUX: see the bottom of Caustic's Homepage for information on the FREE and is the FULL UNLOCKED Version.

*** Android/Kindle/IOS/Chromebooks using Android Apps: In the app stores, you can get a FREE TRIAL APP. You can't save until you UNLOCK the FULL VERSION which costs money.

REMEMBER! Talk with your parents before downloading.

PARENTS: Caustic is a great app with professional level qualities, but CAUSTIC is NOT A SCHOOL REQUIREMENT.

If you do decide to get it just email me for any questions- I do LOVE the program!!!
