Singing Stairs

Singing Stairs is a musical night sky for children five to eight. A staircase of letters climbs from low C to high C, and every letter sings its true note on a real piano. Pitch is height, so the room is built that way.

Fourteen games, on four shelves:

PLAY — The playground, where a slide, a swing, a ladder and five more pieces of equipment each carry one musical idea. Song time, where she plays real songs by tapping the glowing letter, words lit syllable by syllable. Make a tune, where she writes her own song on a grid of notes and hears it played back, forwards or backwards.

SING — Sing together, where her voice becomes a star riding the staircase in real time. Sing it back, where she hears a note and sings it.

LISTEN — The mystery singer, Higher or lower, Up or down, Happy or sad, How many singers, Echo clouds, The band and Drum talk: pitch, melody shapes, major and minor chords, harmony, memory, the sound of four instruments, and rhythm, most of them growing gently harder as she gets it.

AT BEDTIME — Goodnight, stairs: a soft lullaby while the letters fall asleep one by one.

There is no score, no timer and no wrong answer. A miss just plays what she tapped, which is exactly the comparison that trains an ear.

Every note is a real recording: the Salamander Grand Piano, and violin, flute and harp from the VSCO-2 orchestra. Everything works offline.

No accounts, no advertising, no purchases, no links out of the app, and no data collected. The two singing games listen while they are open and analyze the sound on the phone; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. Settings live behind a grown-ups gate.
