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 Many students struggle because drilling note names feels boring and difficult. Flashnote Derby turns this essential skill into a game—one they’ll want to keep playing. A little daily practice adds up quickly, and students learn to read music with confidence. ———— Get on the road to confident music reading today! Download Flashnote Derby and help your young musician master notes with joy—not frustration.

Great App

Mama23Dogs&aKid · 14 years ago · v1.2

For todays 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

The best music flash card app for students of all levels

PianoTeacherBeth · 13 years ago · v1.5.1

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 dont beat the other horse. My beginners use the slowest setting (walk) but often just cant 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, Id definitely find a use for it with my intermediate & advanced theory teenagers :) Ive 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.

Great app for learning lines and spaces!!!

Scrapping in Ontario · 11 years ago · v2.1.5

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 were 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!!

Great app!

Alex Papa Chan · 11 years ago · v2.1.5

The app is cute! In the next version if they could play a sound of the notes then it would be great.

面白いですが…

Totkiu · 12 years ago · v2.1.0

音名が「イロハニホヘト」になっています。「ハニホヘトイロ」が正解です。「ドレミ」で表示できるともっといいですね。

Very good

Romina Incutti · 13 years ago · v1.5.1

Excellant way for children to learn the notes while playing. The video lessons are very good, useful and easy for children to follow. Could be improved by adding the solfeggio (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do) system.

Great app

Cookeelena · 9 years ago · v2.1.5

I have a hard time memorizing notes. This app saved the day!
