Dolores — Aspiring Artist (First-Timer)
Tier: Free Platform: Android (Galaxy A14 — budget device) Music style: Folk songs Accessibility: Motor + age-related — mild hand tremor, 140% system font scaling
Background
Dolores is a retired elementary school music teacher, 67, who is finally writing the folk songs she's had in her head for decades. Patient and thorough — she read every screen of the onboarding walkthrough twice. She's new to app-based workflows but deeply familiar with structured teaching plans. She uses the app once daily in the morning with her coffee, rarely making more than one stage transition per session.
How She Uses the App
Dolores completed the entire guided walkthrough without skipping — she's the thoroughest onboarding user in the cast. She imported the "Songwriting" template and is working through her first song, currently in the "Arrangement" stage. Her progress level is "Getting Started" — she's just beginning.
Her stage notes are detailed and reflective: "Spent the morning on the verse melody. It wants to go to B-flat but I keep pulling it back to G. Tomorrow I'll let it go where it wants."
Accessibility Note
Dolores has a mild hand tremor that makes small tap targets difficult. She uses 140% system font scaling on her Galaxy A14. The app is designed with 48dp minimum tap targets and supports large system fonts without text clipping or content reflow.
What She Values
- A gentle, non-overwhelming first experience
- Clear language in the walkthrough with no jargon
- Large tap targets and text that scales with her system font
- A simple daily ritual — one session, one transition, consistent progress
