## Flashnote Derby Description
Flashnote Derby is a fun, effective way for kids to learn to read music through fast-paced note flashcard games.
Perfect for piano, guitar, band, orchestra, and general music students, this teacher-created app turns note recognition into an engaging game that works equally well at home or in music lessons.

————

Learn to Read Music — Fast

Each race is a fast-paced challenge: identify notes correctly as you learn to read music faster and speed your horse toward the finish line. Missed or slow answers allow the other horse to catch up.
After each round, students can review the notes they missed— turning every race into a meaningful learning opportunity.

————

New! Practice Mode (No Timer, No Stress)

Students can now choose a relaxed 'practice mode' with unlimited time for each note.
Perfect for beginners, this mode builds accuracy and confidence before racing competitively.

————

Multiple Ways to Answer

Players can answer flashcards in a variety of ways:
• Play the note on any instrument. Flashnote Derby listens and recognizes what you play (including transposing instruments).
• Use a MIDI instrument
• Tap on-screen letter names
• Or play notes on the on-screen piano keyboard

————

Fully Customizable for Any Student

Tailor each drill to match your student’s level:
• Treble, bass, alto, or tenor clef
• Select specific note ranges or individual notes
• Add sharps, flats, or full key signatures
• Adjust time limits (or remove them entirely in Practice Mode)
• Expand difficulty all the way up to five-and-a-half ledger lines above and below the staff.

As skills grow, you can increase the challenge. Higher difficulty earns higher scores—keeping students motivated.

————

Multiple themes keep practice fresh

In addition to the classic horse race, students can take flight with the whimsical Pretty Pegasus course, blast through an arcade-style space challenge in Ecliptic Encounter, or switch to the seasonal Reindeer Race during the holidays.

————

Built for Teachers, Loved by Students

Flashnote Derby is designed to fit easily into lessons:
• Quick to set up and perfect for a 1–2 minute warm-up
• Send homework assignments directly to students
• Track progress automatically
• See which notes need more review

Teachers see real improvement. Students stay engaged. Parents appreciate the progress.

Why Flashnote Derby Works

### *---- "Doesn’t fit right on apple screen"
Doesn’t fit right on the screen
-- MMMMMM2385739, 2023-04-15

### *---- "Horrible"
Bad
-- 🌿🌸 sakura girl 🌸🌿, 2022-06-01

### ***** "Great"
Sweet app it’s awsome! But the licensing feature is pretty terrible.
-- Martin b2, 2021-11-09

### ***** "AMAZING!!!"
My piano students LOVE this, and it’s so fun to be able to switch between the unicorns and spaceships etc. Can’t wait for these guys to come out with more games!
-- PianoLessonsVancouver, 2020-09-17

### ***** "Great app!"
The app is cute! In the next version if they could play a sound of the notes  then it would be great.
-- Alex Papa Chan, 2015-01-28

### ***** "Great app for learning lines and spaces!!!"
I am a piano teacher and currently use this app with my daughter and my students too.  Their note reading is improving weekly!!  Easy to select which notes we're focusing on. Can also easily flip between naming notes by letter that are found on the staff to deciding where played on the keyboard.  Highly recommend this app!!
-- Scrapping in Ontario, 2015-01-24

### ***** "The best music flash card app for students of all levels"
I purchased this app for my piano group students & I end up using it all the time for my private piano students too.  In the group setting, we race as a team. We sit around the iPad & the students take turns naming the notes.  It is such a hit that they usually ask for it at every lesson.  In a private lesson, I usually start lessons with a quick round of 10 or 20 flash cards while I open notebooks & generally get myself situated.  

I love that I can select exactly the notes that I want to drill & I can even email them to my students.  The students love playing games to review their notes.  

The students love the reindeer background for the game.  It would be great to have a Valentines one or an Easter one too (the kids would be so excited!)

One little problem I have with the app is the "you lose" message & wah, wah, wah music at the end if you don't beat the other horse. My beginners use the slowest setting (walk) but often just can't beat the other horse.  Maybe "good try" instead?

So far, I find it most appealing to the under-12 crowd, though if you were to add an option of alto & tenor clefs, I'd definitely find a use for it with my intermediate & advanced theory teenagers :)

I've tried several apps but this is definitely my go-to app for note-naming flash cards.  I recommend this to all my under-10 students and recommend it as a "must-have" app for any music teacher.
-- MusicTeacherBeth, 2013-02-07

### ***** "Great App"
For today's connected children, this is a great App that keeps their interest.  I recommend to all my students!  Thanks!

Looking forward to your next App.  My suggestion would be Rhythm Race
-- Mama23Dogs&aKid, 2012-06-20
