Description

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

Each race is a timed test in which the student identifies different notes in order to urge their horse on towards the finish line. Answering quickly and correctly will cause their horse to gain ground, while incorrect answers will cause it to fall behind. At the end of each race, students can review the notes they missed and see the correct answers.

Players can respond to flashcards by simply playing the note on their acoustic or MIDI instrument. They can also choose to answer by tapping letter buttons or playing a key on an on-screen piano.

The game is fully customizable to allow for any desired notes in the treble, bass, alto, or tenor clefs to be included. You can select ranges of notes, or several individual notes to focus on specific areas that need work. Notes can be shown with sharps and flats and key signatures can even be added to increase the challenge for more advanced students. The amount of time the player is given for each flashcard can be increased or decreased depending upon their age and level of experience.

Drills can start out simply, with only a handful of notes, and gradually be made more challenging until the full staff is mastered (up to five and a half ledger lines above or below the staff.) The more difficult the settings, the more points are awarded. The 'high score' is tracked so that players always have a goal to shoot for.

As a bonus, over a dozen instructional video lessons are easily accessible from right inside the app! Even children with no prior music instruction can start using Flashnote Derby right away to begin learning about the music alphabet, the staff, and how to identify different notes.

Because it can be set up so quickly, Flashnote Derby provides a perfect motivational tool for music teachers to use with students, even for just a minute or two of each lesson. Teachers have the ability to email homework assignments to their students for them to play on their own devices at home. Each player's performance is recorded so that their progress can be tracked. You can easily see which notes are most in need of review.

When students give up on their music lessons, it's usually because they find it too difficult. Learning basic skills early is key to laying the groundwork for future success. Flashnote Derby makes this process more enjoyable and helps students stay motivated in their music learning.

Sometimes it takes only a little extra effort to make the difference between success and failure. Download Flashnote Derby and get on the road to music reading mastery today!

doesnt let me start it

teh prizm on

i can not open it so i don’t know what it’s like but i see that a lot of people like it

My piano teacher from school recommended this…

saraandvinay on

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.

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!

Piano

jose🙉 on

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

Excellent (also please make the reindeer theme all year round?)

Sades92 on

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!

Brilliant note learning app

Joanna Pieters on

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.

Brilliant for younger students

amiemusic01 on

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.

Rubbish

21kewc on

This game is rubbish

New version very buggy

R2sk on

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.....

Flashnote

The-storyteller on

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.
