About this game
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 studentโs 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

My child and I really enjoy this app! I've seen significant improvement with her in just the last few days. She loves the silly screens and it helps her to want to practice. I love that I can customize which notes we'll practice. One draw back is that there isn't an "infinity" option or any amount of time. You run through the notes one time. I wish I could do something like set it for 5 minutes. Playing through the notes just ones is a bit fiddly and distracts from the actual practicing.

Simple app that stops short of its potential. Pros: picks up the sound well enough, can use an acoustic piano, game like (if you're a kid) Cons: game like (if you're an adult), game resets after you've hit every not once. You have to reset every 15-30 seconds depending on how fast you are at the "game". Really needs more modes for better training... such as infinite practice. Or a game type where you go as long as you can without a mistake. Has it helped me... yes. Would I buy again? Unlikely

I play clarinet, so only use treble and there were five(5) lessons. That's it. No sharps/flats. And inputting new cards is a pain on the phone. Also, I was hoping for it showing me a line of music (multiple notes) and then letting me play them all, not queuing them up each one-at-a-time for me. It does a good job of calibrating for the clarinet, which is nice, without more complicated notes it's a little too basic. Why not more cards with more complicated notes? And adding rhythm! Now you'd be talking!
