How to play

Let’s make a sound

“Let’s make a lot of sound” and “Let’s make a long sound ” Championship

1. Let’s place MUSIC PUSH PUMP on the desk or floor, attach it to any part of your body, or attach it to a place where it is easy to make a sound as your child grows up.
2. Let’s try to make a sound using various parts of the body, such as the palm of one or both hands, fingertips, clenched hand, whole arm, and whole foot.
3. In “Let’s make a lot of sound”, counting how many times a person has made the sounds in 10 seconds, or if there are multiple people, it is also fun to try to compete for the numbers. In “Let’s make a long sound”, competing for how many seconds a person has made a sound in case of one person, or it is also good to compete who can make the longest sound in case of multiple people.

It is also good to compete for smaller or louder sounds.

Peek-a-boo ! Found the same sound !

1. The teacher turns the MUSIC PUSH PUMP upside down and arranges them randomly so that the child cannot see the note name sticker. The child arranges in scale order in their normal direction.
2. The teacher plays one MUSIC PUSH PUMP placed upside down.
3. The child searches for and plays the MUSIC PUSH PUMP that sounds the same as the note that the teacher played.

Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes

• Attach the MUSIC PUSH PUMP to each part of the body such as the palm, knee, and foot.
• Let’s sound the MUSIC PUSH PUMP attached to each part of the body matching the lyrics.

Creating music

2). and then remove the pedestal as shown in the illustration. Press the

dented part of the pump from the inside with the finger, and then it will restore. Attach the pedestal and tighten the screws.

The pump has came off the pedestal
Remove the pedestal as described above. Install the pump and pedestal so that they will be in their original positions and tighten the screws on the pedestal.

Not sounding good

If pushing too hard, with force or striking too quickly. the reed may be stuck and may not sound. Play it while adjusting the force or speed.

The pitch has dropped. It does not sound

This product has a mechanism in which a small metal plate called a “reed” vibrates and creates the sound inside. The reeds can break due to metal fatigue, which is something that may happen with the musical instruments in general that use reeds. If the pitch drops significantly, it is as a sign that the reed will break. If the pitch goes down or it does not sound, ask the supplier concerning replacement or repair.
