Games

Happy Note Family of Games (to learn notes and solfege) - free versions restrict you to only five notes, paid versions allow all the notes

  • Happy Note! Treble Clef and Bass Clef - read notes on the treble OR bass clef in a  missile game; use letter names or solfege syllables; variable speed and difficulty levels

  • Happy Note! Notes in Space- read rhythm values and shoot them with your spaceship's laser to split them in half; variable difficulty levels

  • Happy Note! Play It By Ear - learn to identify notes by listening; variable speeds and difficulty levels

  • Happy Note! Musical "Tetris" - Music notes are dropping from the treble clef at the top of your screen. Using your keyboard's left and right arrow keys, your objective is to steer each note so it lands on its name at the bottom of the screen; use letter names or solfege syllables; variable difficulty levels

  • Happy Note! Note Cracker - Our breakout game Note Cracker teaches you to recognize different types of rests and the notes to which they correspond. Whenever the ball hits a rest, it cracks it open and a note of equivalent duration comes out. For instance, if the ball hits a half rest, a half note comes out; four speeds and variable difficulty levels; knowledge of note and rest values is required or you'd better hope you learn fast!
