The Secret Music Room

Nora enjoys exploring Grandma Rose's large, creaky house, with its winding stairs, dusty corners and doors that occasionally creak open by themselves. On a rainy afternoon during a game of hide-and-seek, she finds a tiny blue door at the end of the hallway. It is locked tight, and Grandma Rose says it once belonged to her great-grandpa's music room and has stayed closed for years.

A small brass key from a cluttered kitchen drawer lets Nora open the door and step into a cozy room under the slanted roof, where old sheet music curls on the shelves and dust sparkles like tiny stars. Four instruments wait there, and each plays on its own, carrying a different feeling. When Grandma Rose appears, she explains that great-grandpa wrote every melody for a family member.
