tiptoi

Die monsterstarke Musikschule

All the monsters in the land want to participate in the big music competition and need to prove their abilities in practice sessions. Each monster can assist with mastering one instrument.  First, each player chooses one of the bands; director Krokus, embodied by the tiptoi pen, calls the bands separately and one after the other into one of the rooms where tasks and games are waiting. The core of the game is the big note staircase, each step is assigned one color, one room and one

note. You always here first the note for the step on the staircase where Krokus stands, and then the note of the step related to the room where you need to solve the task.

Rooms are: Instrumentenwerkstatt for sound and information on instruments; Klassiksalon with music samples and questions on their sounds; Gesangsraum for recognizing melodies and singing them; Tonstudio on recognizing different notes, repeating notes and melodies and free play on the xylophone; Rhythmusraum about repeating of rhythmic sequences, hitting drums in order according to the „I put into my suitcase“ mechanism and also free rhythm soloes. And, finally, there is

Geräusche-Raum, you must recognizes sounds and noises, which are played individually or at the same time or identify noises that do not fit with a group of other noises. When all bands have visited all rooms of the school Krokus calls the bands onto the stage and they receive their accolades according to their performance.

As all games of the series Die monsterstarke Musikschule, too, is a fantastic source for information and the acquisition of additional abilities and offers a felicitous introduction into the world of sounds, rhythms and melodies.
