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!

Version 3.1.2
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.

Version 3.0
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.....

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.

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.

Excellent

Made learning fun. I went from knowing no notes to being able to instantly spot all on both staves within a day.

A lovely App

Version 1.1
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).

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.

Absolutely great!

Version 1.1
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!

Great motivational app with potential for Further development

Version 1.1
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.
