Music Crab is a fun musical game for learning to read music! Follow the steps of a crab diving through the ocean, through 182 levels, improve your memory and train your ear at your own pace, music theory has never been as easy! Just select your crab, your keyboard and begin the game. Beginner’s Tip: On level 1 pick treble clef or bass clef and let the keyboard notes guide you. Listen carefully to the intervals between the notes to work out the name of the next note. The better you get at reading the notes, the larger the intervals become and the harder the sight-reading becomes! Challenge your friends or family in Crab Run and compete together to see who is capable of the highest score! Music Crab is adapted not only for children but also for parents and helps greatly with improving sight-reading!

Nous avons même jouer au niveau Run en famille avec les enfants ! **Developer response:** Merci Keliimero ! Tant mieux si vous vous êtes entraînés à lire les notes de musique en famille.Score à battre en mode Crab Run : 797 . Bonne chance ! ### 3/5 — Nice! *2025-04-18, version 1.6.1* It’s a great app, the only problem is when notes below the bass clef are obscured by the playable keyboard at the bottom of the screen. ### 1/5 — Inutilisable au-delà du niveau 20! À revoir! *2025-01-15, version 1.6.1* À la suite du message ci-dessous : j’attends toujours votre amélioration de l’interface pour déplacer le clavier de saisie plus bas… Un mois a passé après votre réaction de faire les changements…?? L’objectif d’apprendre en s’amusant semble être atteint. Un défaut cependant : le clavier masque les lignes de portée qui s’ajoutent en grave au de la de la troisième ligne! On ne voit pas les notes! Hyper gênant ! ### 1/5 — Grave erreur pédagogique *2025-01-06, version 1.6.1* Le crabe propose un Do2 et il faut jouer sur le clavier un Do1 !!!! Donc on lit un do2 et il faut jouer un do1 un octave en dessous !!! C’est tout à fait contraire à la plus élémentaire des pédagogies. C’est un comble, on n’entend pas le même son que celui qui est sur la partition … c’est une hérésie au point de vue apprentissage de la lecture de la musique. J’ai donc abandonné l’idée d’utiliser cette application pour mes petits enfants. ### 5/5 — Super appli *2024-11-24* Enfin trouvé une appli hyper ludique pour apprendre à déchiffrer la musique ! On apprend vite les notes, c’est interactif et on va à l’essentiel qu’on soit débutant ou confirmé. On progresse rapidement tout en s’amusant ! **Developer response:** Merci Sofiène ! Bon déchiffrage ! ### 1/5 — Gros bug à corriger *2024-08-01, version 1.6* L’application fonctionne correctement au lancement, mais au bout de 2/3 niveaux, l’application ralentie rendant le jeu injouable. A corriger. ### 5/5 — Top *2024-07-23, version 1.6* Superbe application pour apprendre à lire la musique tout en s amusant. Prise en main facile , je recommande 👍 ### 5/5 — Très intuitive ! *2024-06-12* Le solfège est malheureusement une discipline assez ardue et les méthodes « classiques » de son enseignement en France ne sont pas vraiment tournées vers le plaisir de la découverte, de la compréhension et de la créativité; plutôt vers une sorte d’ésotérisme, de compétition qui n’encouragent pas vraiment à comprendre son rôle fondamental dans la création et la transmission de la musique. L’application Music Crab, bien au contraire, sous son côté ludique, arrive à dédramatiser et à simplifier la lecture des notes, première étape vers le monde fabuleux de la musique, tant pour son interprétation que pour sa création! Donc bravo à Éric Zorgniotti et à l’équipe de développement, pour avoir su mettre à la portée de tous une méthode originale et facile d’accès pour lire, puis écrire nos premières belles notes. Serge Hoffmann Compositeur **Developer response:** Merci Serge. Bonne musique ! ### 4/5 — Best way to learn *2023-05-24, version 1.5.4* It’s a fun and great app to learn how to sight read. One of the best in my opinion however. When the notes go below the clef on the leisure lines I CANNOT SEE THE CRAB the piano keys are blocking the crab and sight reading. Besides that I would give it 5 stars ## Frequently asked questions about Music Crab ### What is Music Crab?
