This
funny synthesizer based product from Texas Instruments generates a lot of
different sounds and stores them into internal memory. Compared with earlier
products of the Speak & line this one uses a quite simple technology.
This educational toy is very similar to the Speak & Music but uses a German speaking language. Don't miss the Speak & Music sold in United Kingdom. The La Musique Magique introduced a french speaking version.
A total of 12 famous German children songs are stored inside the toy:
 | Ihr Kinderlein, kommet |
| Was soll das bedeuten |
| Ich geh mit meiner Laterne |
| Fuchs, Du hast die Gans gestohlen |
| Weisst Du, wieviel Sternlein stehen |
| Wer will fleissige Handwerker sehen |
| Es tanzt ein Bi-Ba-Butzemann |
| Ein Männlein steht im Walde |
| Es war eine Mutter |
| Alle Vögel sind schon da |
| Im Märzen der Bauer |
| Winter, ade ! |
Other products in the Speak & line cover spelling and reading words. Compare this Music Star with Speak & Math, Speak & Spell and Speak & Read.
