This 2-player game is a fun alternative to flashcards for learning note names on the musical staff.
Grab a friend and race to see whose character climbs to the top of the rope faster. Each note you get correct moves you up the rope, while wrong answers make you slide down.
Customize to focus on the notes you are interested in. Before starting the game, select single staff or grand staff, then:
- Tap the clef to toggle between treble and bass.
- Tap the notes to add or remove from the game. Swipe up to add or down to remove multiple notes at once.
- Tap a note letter button to switch between English and Fixed Do note names.
Use the preset range of notes or add/remove notes from the available note range prior to selecting which notes to include in the game. (Presets: single staff treble: 3 notes below middle C and 1 above high C; single staff bass: 1 note below bass C and 3 notes above middle C; grand staff treble: middle C to high C; grand staff bass: low C to middle C.)
Change the theme to see the characters throw different objects. New seasonal themes become available every 3-5 weeks, in addition to ongoing themes of sports, music and chess.
