Practice Reading Notes on Sheet Music Quickly!

How fast can you identify notes on sheet music?  If you don’t know how to read sheet music yet, this post is for YOU!  If you don’t know what the names are for a certain line or space, you can click the ‘toggle helpers’ button and have the letters shown on the right. Plus, be sure to read my post on reading and understand sheet music. Hopefully, in the game below you can get fast enough so that you say the note before you can even click the letter! Time yourself! Remember you can also change the settings to include the bass cleff (notes for LH) and treble cleff (notes for RH). You need to know both!

    I’ve gotten so fast now that I just press the “new note” button and you can go as fast as you want that way.
