Giving the Gift of Music

Now that Turkey Day has come and gone, you’ve most likely had to bite the bullet and begin your holiday shopping. But if you’re scratching your head over what to get the music lover in your life, look no further than the Beamz Player Interactive Music System.

It’s a music-making machine that uses laser beams to create music by playing light. Know a family member who loves rockin’ out to their iPod or Guitar Hero? They can use the Beamz Player to join the band by adding in instrumental tracks and special sound effects. Or, by using exclusive Beamz song compositions, they can samples hundreds of different instruments and create their own unique sounds.

How does it work? Four laser beams trigger up to 12 instruments, music slips, sound effects or vocals as you pass your hand through the beams. Players can capture and record their own musical compositions for playback. The Beamz Player comes with 50 songs and you can download additional tunes to expand your song library.

The Beamz Player is one of those gifts that keeps on giving and is perfect for the hard-to-buy-for tween who has one too many iTunes gift cards. It is available at Amazon.com, FAO Schwarz and select Brookstone locations.
