Panjo is a free iOS and Android music game that teaches familiar melodies through a spiral-shaped steel-pan interface.

Why it surfaced

The app listens to a melody, adds one note at a time, and lets up to four people play together in versus, relay, or ensemble modes. Its homepage also gives the instrument a clear cultural frame, describing the steel pan’s Trinidad and Tobago origins while presenting Panjo as a Toronto studio project.
