Yes, I learned that the hard way.

Peg + Cat Big Gig

Go Noodle

Go Noodle (free, iTunes)

Go Noodle is a big hit for all of my kids, ages 15 months to 12 years. This fun and easy-to-use app features hundreds of videos to teach your kids choreography, silly songs, and mindfulness techniques like breathing and meditation. Better, it allows parents to convert even the crabbiest of mornings or rainiest of afternoons into an indoor dance party.

Spotify Music

Spotify Music (free iTunes, GooglePlay, subscription required for full version)

My music-loving tweens are obsessed with Spotify, and since we have a Premium for Family account ($14.99/month), it was easy to add their devices so my playlists wasn't suddenly filled with Katy Perry and Twenty One Pilots songs. They literally spend hours making playlists and listening to the daily lists Spotify creates for them. It's magical.

Chordana Play

Chordana Play (Free, iTunes, Google Play)

When my daughter became obsessed with learning to play the piano, Chordana Play was the answer (especially since I can barely play "Chopsticks" and we don't have room for the real thing). Rated for ages 4 and up, it's surprisingly easy to follow and learn to actually play the piano and read music, even for your youngest budding pianist. Even better, once they learn the 50 included songs, you can upload as many midi files as you want to expand their library of music to play.

PBS Kids Party

PBS Kids Party, (free, iTunes, Google Play)

If you are looking for an easy-to-use app for younger kids, PBS Kids Party lets younger kids explore their voices, movement, and have musical fun, all while you take a much-needed break. It features a variety of games like Dance, which lets your preschooler make the characters on the screen move and follow basic choreography and and even a sound recorder, which is my son’s favorite part.

Sing! By Smule

Sing! By Smule (free, iTunes, GooglePlay)

Sing! by Smule is my oldest daughter's favorite music app. This recording studio app allows users to sing along to their favorite songs and record videos of their top performances. If you are concerned about explicit lyrics, you may have to monitor their song selections, but for older kids and teens you can let them explore, learn to sing, and record videos of themselves performing their favorite songs.
