Meet Penny Piano, the sweet and lively, little pink and white upright piano with a pretty bow! She loves to sing and teach the Mini Musicians all about the foundations of music alongside Justin Time. In her cozy classroom, Penny’s Playroom at Tempo Town Hall, she keeps everything organized—but can get a little flustered when things don’t go to plan! Penny gets shy when she's in the spotlight, but she’s always caring, friendly and ready to lend a helping hand. A perfectionist at heart, she strives to make learning music fun and exciting for everyone and she adores the castinet pets around town!

Meet Gus Guitar, the town’s lovable larrikin and the friendly face behind Gus’s Garage! This green guitar with bright red boots and a cowboy hat (where he keeps his trusty pick) is always ready to fix up any instrument in need. A country boy at heart who adores the big city, Gus is giggly, fun and always up for a singalong or a party. But beneath his playful spirit, he’s also kind, caring and full of wisdom, always ready with great advice for anyone who needs it. He also LOVES oranges.With Gus around, there’s never a dull moment in Tempo Town!

Meet Eddie Egg, the coolest cat—uh, egg—in Tempo Town! This little egg shaker may be small, but he’s got big egg energy, keeping the beat moving with style and pizzazz. Dressed to impress in a blue top hat with a red feather, a matching bowtie, stripy shorts, little brown boots and slick black sunglasses, he’s always one step ahead. With his pencil moustache and smooth charm, Eddie knows everything happening around town and has the right connections for anything you might need. Street-smart, a little mysterious and always jolly, he’s not just a rhythm master—he can drop a rap like no other, making every beat in Tempo Town even cooler!

Dave The Stave
The oldest resident of Tempo Town, Dave the Stave has worked at Town Hall for... well, nobody really knows how long or exactly what he does! Officially, he’s the treasurer, book keeper and receptionist, but mostly he’s seen wobbling through town trying to remember where he was going. Lovably dottery and delightfully forgetful, Dave has one very important job: presenting Mayor Justin Time with the Daily‘Musical Stave Report’ the essential guide to what’s happening in Tempo Town that day. Without it, the whole town might miss a beat!
Trinity Triangle is the tiny but mighty star of Percussion Place. This pint-sized percussion queen may be small, but her bright ding ding sound shines through every song. Trinity loves adding sparkle and rhythm to the band, proving you don’t have to be the loudest to be important. With her shiny silver sides and perfect triangle shape, she helps keep the beat and brings extra fun to every performance.

She believes music and kindness go hand in hand, and that a good rest helps every musician play their best. At Harmony Hotel, everyone is welcome and friendships are always waiting to begin.

Bjorn The French Horn
Meet Bjorn the French Horn, Tempo Town’s biggest dreamer! He arrived in town chasing stardom, determined to prove that French horns aren’t just ensemble players—they belong in the spotlight!

Though he never quite lands the lead role, he shines no matter where he plays, proving that passion, perseverance and a positive attitude always steal the show!
