The five lead characters standing on Melody Street: Timmy Trumpet, Febe Flute, Val Violin, Sammy Snare and Heidi Horn, in front of the carnival gate and the town's towers.

Melody Street is where musical instruments live — and the kids of the house at the centre of it are a violin, a flute, a snare drum, and a trumpet-and-horn brother and sister who cannot agree on anything. Each episode takes an ordinary childhood problem, hands it to five instruments who each hear it differently, and lets harmony be the answer rather than the metaphor.

Based on the book The House on Melody Street. A built brand with a produced catalogue, an existing audience, and a curriculum mapped to US early-learning standards.

In a five story house on Melody Street, live five families I would like you to meet.The House on Melody Street

Five families. Five different keys.

The orchestra is organised as an apartment block, so a three-year-old learns the sections by learning who lives on which floor. That is also the conflict: every family sings, and no two sing in the same key.

Request materials
Book illustration: the top of the house at night against a full moon, with a hanging sign reading For Rent.

And in the penthouse apartment, with view to the moon, no one lives at the moment. This will change very soon.

The book ends on an empty apartment and a promise. Sixteen years later the sign is still hanging, and the building is still worth moving into.

One vacancy. Co-production, series order or brand partnership.
