## Flashnote Derby Description
Flashnote Derby is a fun, effective way for kids to learn and practice reading music notes.
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.

————

Race to Learn Music Notes

Each race is a fast-paced challenge: identify notes correctly to speed your horse toward the finish line. Missed or slow answers allow the other horses 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 of ways:
•Play the note on an any instrument. Flashnote Derby will hear and understand what you play. (Works with transposing instruments too!)
•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 keeps 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

## Flashnote Derby Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "doesnt let me start it"
i can not open it so i don’t know what it’s like but i see that a lot of people like it
-- teh prizm, 2022-11-26

### ****- "My piano teacher from school recommended this…"
My piano teacher showed me this game on her iPad and it is so nice! To be honest, as a girl who hates pink and purple more, my favourite theme is Pretty Pegasus. I just got this game today and I am IN LOVE with it! I recommend to use the listen option if you have a piano or keyboard, it helps more! 

Also, can you please let everyone use the Christmas one because I really want to use it, as everyone says it’s the best.
-- saraandvinay, 2021-10-24

### ***** "Worth buying"
This app is great. Simple, straightforward. Highly recommended. BUT developers - I can never remember what it’s called and it doesn’t come up on App Store for searches such as learn to read music etc. Same for google search. You might want to look at this!
-- timtam7811, 2021-04-23

### ***** "Piano"
I love this app 💖❤️ it is amazing my piano teacher and I play it together now I have it on my iPad thank you creators
-- jose🙉, 2021-03-17

### ***** "Excellent (also please make the reindeer theme all year round?)"
My piano students love this game. It’s been the best thing for really cementing the notes. One suggestion: could the reindeer theme be year-round? It’s the best one!
-- Sades92, 2020-03-02

### ***** "Brilliant note learning app"
I’ve been using with an 8yo and it’s brilliant. It could not be easier to set up and change, and the flexibility of giving responses - note name, keyboard or on a real instrument - is fantastic. In a few minutes he’d sorted out some confusion he has between a couple of notes. I’m going to start using it myself to improve my alto clef reading. A slightly more adult/less frenetic theme would be nice for that, but that’s a request rather than a criticism. Highly recommended.
-- Joanna Pieters, 2019-03-18

### ***** "Brilliant for younger students"
I use this mainly with my younger students as they are getting to grips with pitch reading, and works well as a great game in the classroom when my iPad is hooked up to the IWB. I really like the Christmas variation too.
-- amiemusic01, 2018-05-26

### *---- "Rubbish"
This game is rubbish
-- 21kewc, 2018-03-01

### **--- "New version very buggy"
although I love this game, the updated version is very buggy when using the audio. Often it marks right or wrong before a student has even played a note.  Will be wonderful when this is fixed but until then can't really be used.....
-- R2sk, 2017-01-17

### ***** "Flashnote"
Retired an decided to learn to play the saxophone. The teacher introduced me to this app and it has really helped me to learn my notes. Never too old to learn.
-- The-storyteller, 2016-09-28

### ***** "Great for beginner music readers!"
I use this regularly with my beginner recorder players to help them speed up their note recognition. It is most useful because you can CHOOSE the notes you want to test them on, so it is easy to differentiate between groups.
-- Vocalkate, 2016-03-23

### ***** "Excellent"
Great way to learn the notes.
-- PavanC, 2016-01-11

### ***** "Really helpful"
Made learning fun. I went from knowing no notes to being able to instantly spot all on both staves within a day.
-- Field Marshal Keith 1696-1758, 2015-03-01

### ****- "A lovely App"
As a piano teacher I find this app invaluable. I'm giving it 4 stars just because it would be perfect if there was the option to remove time limit and also have the internal mic listen to the piano to select correct note (like DustBuster).
-- Cubemusic, 2013-03-22

### ***** "This is a great little app, students really like it"
This app is great for creative students who need extra support reading notes, it challenges them to recall the notes fast. And it had different options including a mini keyboard. 100% Recommend to teachers.
-- Lady BCHi, 2013-02-08

### ***** "Absolutely great!"
I am a piano teacher and just love this app. You guess the note (by either touching letter or key) and if you are right your horse moves forward. If you are quick it moves forward faster.
You have lots of control: the speed, number of questions, and can select the notes you want o be tested. So with my beginners I can do just a couple of notes, with the more advanced both treble and bass any note. You can also review any mistakes.
Great fun, all my kids love it!
-- JulietMus, 2012-11-20

### ****- "Great motivational app with potential for Further development"
I am a piano teacher and this app is great for drilling notes names in both treble and bass clef. It is very easy to customise notes for each pupils stage and the different speeds and race element is very motivational, especially for boys!
I would like to see it developed to include the option of playing the notes directly onto a keyboard, which is a different but equally important skill.
-- Kah#, 2012-01-17
