Introducing the Soundbrenner Spark

The Soundbrenner Spark is a kid-sized wearable inspired by the award-winning Core 2. Designed for children aged 5 to 15, Spark brings professional-grade haptic rhythm tools to smaller wrists in a fun, durable format built for learning through play. It adapts Core 2 features into a compact design with silent vibrations, built-in tuning, a decibel meter, and more - all optimized for intuitive, screen-free practice.
What’s new in the Spark
- A shorter strap ensure a snug, comfortable fit for smaller wrists
- Fixed module design means no detachable face - eliminating twisting, loss, or distraction
- Vibrant berry blue or galaxy black finish tailored for kids, without compromising performance features

A tuner for every instrument
Spark includes a built-in microphone tuner suited for all beginner instruments like piano, violin, guitar, or recorder. No clips, no fuss - just reliable pitch feedback for tuning accuracy.
Core features repurposed for kids
- Silent vibrating metronome to help internalize rhythm
- Touchscreen interface for tuning, stopwatch, timer, and alarms
- Decibel meter with hearing-safety alerts
- Practice tracking, session logs, and reward badges to boost motivation
- Fully standalone operation - no smartphone required

Why Spark matters
Research shows that children learn faster when multiple senses are engaged. Spark’s tactile vibration reinforces sensorimotor coupling - helping kids feel the rhythm, build coordination, and stay focused during practice.
The device offers varying vibration intensity levels, enabling personalized feedback tailored to different instruments and playing styles.
”Spark makes rhythm fun. My students love feeling the beat, and I love how easy it is to sync devices across the band.”
Craig Lovett, band teacher & musician
