Melody Maker

A melody's shape comes from ordered pitch movement: adjacent pitches make steps, larger gaps make skips, equal pitches repeat, and the same relative pattern can start higher or lower.

What your child will figure out

  • Hear and identify rising, falling, and repeated pitch through direct note movement.
  • Distinguish adjacent scale steps from larger pitch skips in a visible and audible contour.
  • Build and revise a short melody from a relative contour target.
  • Transfer one interval pattern to a different starting pitch while preserving its shape.

The levels

  1. Light a tune

    Freely drag and play a firefly phrase to connect height with pitch and order with melody.

  2. Little steps home

    Predict the hidden skip, then repair the phrase so every movement is an adjacent step.

  3. The middle leap

    Build a step, repeat, and skip pattern from a translucent contour shadow.

  4. New starting star

    Transfer the same interval pattern to a higher starting pitch and compare aligned ribbons.

Ready when they are.
