Learn to Read Music with Note Rush! Note Rush boosts your note reading speed and accuracy, building a strong mental model of where each written note is on your instrument. Now even better with Note Rush: 2nd Edition! How it Works --------------------------- Note Rush is like a virtual flash card deck for all ages that listens to you play each note, giving instant feedback and awarding stars based on speed and accuracy of note identification. Race against the clock to improve your performance or hide the timer to gently engage those just starting out with the staff. Includes built-in levels for piano and a range of other instruments as well as custom level design. What makes Note Rush Different? --------------------------- - Play On Your Instrument Note reading is best learnt in the context of how you identify and play each note - on your acoustic or MIDI instrument. - Designed for Teachers ...and not as a replacement for them! Create fully customizable note sets and easily send them home to students. - Fun Themes Engage with fun themes that don't get in the way of learning, or opt for traditional notation. Landmarks: The best way to learn your notes --------------------------- Note Rush fits with all teaching methods, whether you favor a purely intervallic approach or use traditional mnemonics! We promote learning key landmark notes then reading adjacent notes intervallically for the best results in learning to read piano notation. Note Rush features a unique landmarks-based hints system (optional) that highlights nearby landmark notes to read intervallically from. Over time students naturally move from reliance on landmarks to a more intrinsic staff-to-keyboard association. Preset and Custom Levels --------------------------- Use preset note ranges or create your own set of levels to suit your teaching style. Create a personalized level to target a particular student’s needs. - Individual Note Selections - Sharps and Flats - Treble, Bass or Grand Staff (alto and tenor coming soon) - Up to Six Ledger Lines - Send custom note reading drills using App Links or QR Codes}

Updated review: Brilliant app for the landmark method, I'm a piano teacher. Thank you to the developer for updating it.

Brilliant app, I'm a piano teacher. Such a shame the developers have abandoned it, I hope someone rescues it or creates an alternative to teach the landmark method. Now it has bugs on Android and is too old for many modern devices.

I'm a piano teacher - the app is fantastic and very effective. It works perfectly offline. One star off because there's a bug on Android where the screen locks and displays: "Drag lock icon to unlock". I agree that the first levels are way too short, I've made my own in Level Designer to get around that.

I would give it 5 stars if there was an option to turn off the timer. I find it encourages students to guess.

really great app, I wish they would normalize the audio so my dryer and nose sniffles didn't get picked up as notes but c'est la vie. I'd turn off the penalty to keep from throwing your phone in frustration

Teacher Approved. The only issue is a device issue. have someone hold your phone up while playing. Otherwise, the app has issues hearing the piano. As a teacher I have issues with sound quality when students set their phone down on a music stand but if they hold it up or turn it sideways there are no issues.
