More details:
"Easy Note Trainer" is composed of 7 interactive flashcards for people to learn to recognize the letter names or syllables of music notes as well as to play the right corresponding piano keys quickly. They are briefly introduced as follows:
- Card #1: Music notes overview This is for the beginners to know the most commonly used music notes under both treble and bass clefs.
- Card #2: Note and its letter/syllable Music notes in up to five ledger lines can be shown with their letter names or syllables under both treble and bass clefs.
- Card #3: What is this music note? This card is similar to card #2 but the letter name or syllable is hidden so you can test your learning results or your children's. A single touch on the question mark shows the answer.
- Card #4: Read and play a music note In this card, a virtual piano keyboard is shown so you can practice playing the corresponding key on it. One music note is shown at a time.
- Card #5: Read and play music notes This card can really boost your music note reading speed. Multiple music notes and chords are shown and the corresponding keys can be played simultaneously (or note-by-note if you are not using a pad).
- Card #6: Mixed bass and treble music notes This card helps you get accustomed to switching between treble and bass clefs. Multiple music notes and chords are shown under the two clefs. It is recommended to be used after getting more fluent reading music notes by using card #5.
- Card #7: Play notes under a key Up to 5 sharp or flat signs are available for you to get used to them quickly such as E major (4 sharp signs).
