Clarion
is a digital instrument that is expressive like traditional musical instruments but also highly accessible. It is opening up music-making for disabled students in the classroom.
The Clarion is available as an app you can download on your iPads and Windows PC devices. While there is flexibility to change its layout, the Clarion is a real instrument, designed to be played live. It removes the barriers often associated with the shape, size, or the need to bow, pluck, or blow acoustic instruments.
