🛗 The Music Elevator
Going up? Press a floor. Every floor has its own music, and the ride there has elevator music, of course.

Why is there music in elevators?
Elevator music is soft, smooth music made to play quietly in the background, so nobody minds hearing it. Long ago, when elevators were new, some people were nervous riding in a little box that went up and up. Shops and offices played calm music to help everyone relax, and the name stuck. Today it’s a bit of a joke, which is why Peabody’s elevator plays it.
The floors go from low to high, like music does. The basement has spooky tunes and owl hoots. The roof is the highest, and it floats off into space. On the way, listen: does each floor sound happy, sleepy, bouncy or spooky?
