## What is Croche?

Croche teaches you to read music in small daily doses, with exercises that adapt exactly to your level.

THE CORE: SIGHT-READING
Notes scroll across an animated staff. Name them or play them on a mini-keyboard before they reach the reading line. The scroll gently slows to give you time to answer — never a hard "game over," just a pace that adjusts to how fast you actually read.

A FULL CURRICULUM, NOT A GIMMICK
- Treble and bass clef, from anchor notes to ledger lines
- Rhythm: pulse, eighth notes, quarter notes, rests, syncopation, compound meters
- Intervals, by eye and by ear
- Accidentals and key signatures — real sight-reading, not just "tap the right key"
- Scales, keys, chords (major, minor, diminished, augmented, inversions)
- A real ear-training pillar: recognize a played note, an interval, a wrong note in a melody

A REPERTOIRE OF REAL MUSIC
Well-known public-domain melodies built right into the path, so you're reading actual music as soon as you're ready — not just abstract drills.

A PROGRESS LOOP THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO COME BACK
Daily streaks, XP, gems, unlockable mascot cosmetics, timed challenges (endless sight-reading, relative ear training, sudden death), a built-in metronome with multiple tones.

WHO IT'S FOR
From complete beginners to players who already read but lack fluency — a placement test drops each profile exactly where they belong on the path.

Croche is available in French, English, and Spanish.

### 5/5 — Génial

*2026-09-17*

Je voulais me remettre au solfège depuis des années 🤩🤩

### 5/5 — Super appli, même pour débutants !

*2026-09-17*

N’ayant aucune connaissance en solfège, j’ai pu prendre en main l’application super rapidement ! Tout est très compréhensible et super ludique, je recommande

### 5/5 — Super Application

### 5/5 — Enfin une appli ludique et ultra efficace ! 🎵

*2026-08-23*

Franchement, c'est l'une des meilleures applications que j'ai pu tester pour bosser le solfège. Ce que j'apprécie particulièrement, c'est la structure des exercices : tout est pensé pour qu'on puisse progresser à son rythme, que ce soit pour le déchiffrage, le travail de l'oreille ou la mise en place du rythme.
L'interface est super fluide, agréable à utiliser au quotidien et on sent vraiment une évolution au fil des sessions sans avoir l'impression de faire des heures de théorie barbante. Que l'on parte de zéro ou qu'on cherche simplement à garder les réflexes affûtés, c'est un vrai bonheur. Un grand bravo aux développeurs, foncez les yeux fermés !

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-10-05

Croche's biggest update yet:
• Croche comes to life: she reacts to your answers, celebrates your wins, talks to you in the menus and conducts along with the metronome.
• A brand-new game screen: a real sheet of music paper, keys in the colors of the notes, and combo fire.
• Daily sight-reading: a new melody every day, up to 3 stars, kept in your notebook.
• The monthly season: your daily sessions earn gems and an exclusive item.
• Medals and titles for your skills, from Apprentice to Virtuoso.
• Pick your instrument: guitar, harp or organ.
• Redesigned end screens, Notebook and exercises, plus many fixes.

### 1.7 — 2026-09-28

What's new in 1.7:
• Today's session: a few minutes each day mixing reading, rhythm and ear training. It doesn't use up a lesson, getting half right opens a chest of gems, and 5 sessions in a week earn you 40 more.
• Your skills: treble clef, bass clef, rhythm, ear, key signatures, chords. Each has its own level, with no ceiling. Find them in your profile.
• Goals in sight: the path shows how many lessons until today's session unlocks, then your first song.
• Exercises, rethought: the piano chord across both staves, "Between the Clefs", the circle of fifths built note by note, and the bar line that cancels an accidental.
• Save your streak with gems, once a week. A rhythm lesson, a challenge or a test now uses just one lesson from your reserve.

### 1.6 — 2026-09-24

• Rhythm: the whole bar is shown, wait for the green light, then play it. Every tap makes a sound and you see if you were early or late.
• Placing notes: slide the cursor under the staff, your finger no longer hides anything.
• Clearer progress: 80% to move on, a free catch-up round when you're close, 3 crowns per lesson.
• More lessons: they come back in 4 hours, each level gives you 5 more, and gem chests line the path.
• Croche shows you around: a welcome for complete beginners, an app tour, a placement test in treble and bass clef.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-16

Bug fixes and new features.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-11

A fresh new Croche!

• A new, more detailed drawing of Croche throughout the app, and a new icon.

• Nine new pieces — Für Elise, Greensleeves, The Blue Danube, Amazing Grace and more, slipped in all along the path.

• Placing a note is now a drag: hold your finger down and a preview snaps to the nearest line. No more notes dropped just off target.

• Notation redrawn: treble and bass clefs remade to match each other, rests and accidentals fixed, and a whole module on the natural sign.

• The whole interface reworked: drawn icons instead of emoji, a new app icon, and a sound signature on launch.

• Theory, better introduced: it opens by itself when the idea is new, comes back when you forget it, and is one tap away mid-lesson.

• A clearer catch-up: missed notes are now drawn on a staff, in their real place, instead of merely being named.

• Haptics and reminders reworked — you finally feel your wins, not just your mistakes. Switchable from your profile.
