## What is Interval Climb?

Turn music theory into a race!
Interval Climb is a thrilling, 2-player educational game that makes mastering interval degrees on the musical staff fun, fast, and competitive. Say goodbye to boring flashcards—grab a friend, teacher, or classmate and see whose character can climb to the top of the rope first!

Every correct answer climbs you higher... but watch out—a wrong answer will make you slide right back down. Whether you are a student just starting out or a musician sharpening your skills, Interval Climb offers a dynamic interface designed to keep you focused and engaged.

Why Teachers & Students Love Interval Climb:
“My kids love Interval Climb. It’s simple to use and the kids love that they can compete against each other! I was amazed that within days they were recognizing larger intervals such as sixths and sevenths! Well worth the modest price!” – Rowina Seidler, creator of Noteology music reading app

Key Features & Customization:
•	Two Exciting Ways to Play: Easily toggle between the Grand Staff (where each player gets their own staff to race at their own pace) and the Single Staff (a frantic head-to-head race to identify the same interval first, featuring audio playback so you can train your ear!).
•	Tailored Learning Difficulty: Customize your sessions to focus exactly on what you need. Select any combination of intervals from unisons up to octaves.
•	Melodic & Harmonic Training: Choose to play with only harmonic intervals, only melodic intervals, or a mix of both.
•	Ledger Lines & Notation Settings: Toggle ledger lines on or off, and select either English or Italian ordinal number abbreviations.
•	Interactive Study Tool: Between matches, use the menu to freeze selections – once frozen, simply select an interval degree to see it instantly visualized on the staff for quick review.
•	Fun Visual Themes: Enjoy ongoing themes like sports, music, and chess, plus fresh seasonal themes rotating every 3 to 5 weeks.
