What is on each page

Flashcards

Name the note shown on the staff. Play it on the beat with a metronome click, at 2, 4 or 8 beats per note, or work at your own pace. Rounds of 20 cards, with your best score saved on your device for each level.

Play-along

A line of quarter notes over 1, 2 or 4 bars, with a count-in and a moving highlight. Loop it, show the note names if you need them, or hear the line first.

Tempo runs from 30 to 160 BPM, and sharps and flats are optional. The trainer does not listen to your instrument, so check yourself as you play.

Want a teacher in your corner?

The tools show you what to practise. A coach shows you how, and keeps you moving. We teach guitar, bass and music technology (MPC and Cubase) one to one, built around your pace and goals.
