Multi-sensory and interdisciplinary balance platform training apparatus

Abstract

This invention encompasses a balance board/wobbling platform type of apparatus which uniquely enables integrative training in two distinct realms not normally combined—namely, directly integrating physical BALANCE with expressive MUSICALITY such that MUSIC itself can actually be created by the BALANCING adjustments of the user/s. In a direct sort of way, the user of the Giant Musical Wobble Board is actually enabled to create MUSIC by means of BALANCE. This unique empowerment is effected by means of toned bells (or other sounding devices) being affixed in an easily moveable manner (in the preferred embodiment) to the surface of a wobbling platform—which (in the preferred embodiment) is of a substantive size—so that the user through minute balancing adjustments can direct a rolling ball to contact/sound the toned bells. A “hook and loop” based attachment system is utilized (in the preferred embodiment) whereby the toned bells—and/or other props—can quickly and easily by removed and/or repositioned so as to enable a vast variety of changes and thus maximally interest the user and maximally challenge the user's balance and adaptability. Moreover, the way wherein this product uniquely makes it possible to integrate BALANCE and MUSIC with ACADEMIC INFORMATION, gives this particular balance board a surpassing degree of interest-generating power and INTEGRATIVE, INTERDISCIPLINARY breadth.
