Sa Re Game
Tap and hold the seven sargam keys to make your own music. Read it as Sa Re Game → sargam + game. That’s the joke. 🎵
The seven sargam keys
Each colour is one note in the Indian sargam scale. They’re the same idea as do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti.
What is Sa Re Game?
It's a music playground. Seven coloured keys; tap one for a short note, hold one for a long note, slide your finger from key to key for a smooth musical line.
There are no scores, no right or wrong answers, no lessons — just your kid making music.
How to play
- Tap a key — short note
- Hold a key — the note keeps singing until you let go (up to 4 seconds)
- Slide your finger across keys — they hand off smoothly, like a piano glissando
- Press ▶ Play to listen back to what you just made
- Press 💾 Save to keep your song on the device (last 3 are remembered)
- Press ↗ Share to send your song as a real audio file (.wav)
What ARE notes? (super-simple version)
Sound is just air wiggling. Slow wiggles sound low, fast wiggles sound high. When the wiggles happen at the right speeds, your ear hears them as music instead of noise.
Indian classical music names seven of those wiggle-speeds: Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni. Sa is the lowest, Ni is the highest, and each one in between is a tiny step up. They're the same idea as do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti.
Try this first
- Climb up: Sa → Re → Ga → Ma → Pa → Dha → Ni
- Climb down: Ni → Dha → Pa → Ma → Ga → Re → Sa
- Bounce: Sa, Sa, Pa, Pa, Sa, Sa, Pa
- Slide: put your finger on Sa and drag it slowly to Ni without lifting up
Practice ideas
- Find a tune you already know (Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Birthday) by ear.
- Pick just THREE keys and make a 10-second song using only those.
- Make a fast song (lots of taps) and a slow song (lots of long holds). Listen to how different they feel.
- Save your favourite and play it back tomorrow.
