## What is Music Flashcards?

Learn to read music notes in minutes by memorizing one set of notes at a time through random repetition. Start at level one and build note recognition until you've mastered every note on the staff.

HOW IT WORKS
 • Choose your clef: treble, bass, or alto — switch anytime with one swipe
 • Identify the note by tapping the A–G buttons and advance to the next card
 • Already know it? Double-tap the note to skip ahead
 • Master each of the 4 levels to unlock the full range of notes

SMART PRACTICE
 • Every correct answer scores a point
 • Missed notes are automatically repeated until you've mastered them
 • Change levels manually with a touch, and your score and level are saved on exit

Blue Note was designed with the help of a former elementary school teacher to effectively teach musical note reading — perfect for beginners, students, and anyone learning piano or another instrument.

## Key features

- Learn notes one set at a time
- Randomized repetition for memorization
- Treble and bass clef support
- Progressive level system
- Score tracking and missed note repetition
- Manual level selection

### 4/5 — good app but wasted my $3!

*2026-03-01*

i used to take piano lessons and my teacher recommended me this app. it helped me a lot to memorize the notes. i bought the upgraded version a long time ago but then i quit piano. i kept the app in case i wanted to pick it back up again and i offloaded it to save space and redownloaded it again and it said i needed to pay again! not mad just upset that i have to buy it again.  otherwise i really liked this and i would pay for it again!

### 1/5 — Making me purchase again - garbage

*2024-02-04, version 2.0.2*

Keeps prompting me  with “what does a vcr do” then asking to upgrade, restore purchase, or no thanks.  Won’t let me restore purchase. That’s really poor form - making me pay again. Time to purchase a different app.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-10-17, version 2.0.2*

Keeps asking a parental question about vcr and asks to upgrade and just keeps looping

### 5/5 — Piano flash cards

*2023-08-24*

Really enjoy this piano flash cards! I definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Needed optimization for the newer devices

*2023-08-24*

Looks pretty simple application to learn music. Keep adding more music learning tools/materials. And as mentioned by other reviewers, please add materials for the “guitar” (especially, acoustic guitar) for me. Please!!

Please work on optimization and better UI for the newer devices. 

My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS), iPad Pro 12.9” (2018, 3rd Generation, latest iPadOS) 

Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. 

With Kindest Regards-BR

### 4/5 — Needs guitar

*2023-02-16*

Would be a killer app with a guitar note section like the keyboard more section. I’ve already learned how to understand sheet music through the app alone In like 30 min. As a guitarist I really need something that can help me pick random keys on the fretboard.

### 4/5 — Excellent app, but…

*2022-10-07*

This is a very simple and basic app, with just flashcards. This is perfect for a beginner of any age, learning how to read music. It’s also good for review for anyone who is advanced as well. It’s fun to see how fast I can name the notes. However, I really don’t like how all the notes are in blue. Will you please add an option to change the notes to black instead of blue? I have perfect pitch and synesthesia, and that means, when I see a blue note, I see and hear the note E. That’s incredibly annoying! My type of synesthesia gives colors to notes. So, it’s incredibly distracting and annoying to see blue on every single note. Will you please add the option to change the notes to black instead? The app will be much more fun when I can change the  notes to be black. Please add key signature flashcards. Thanks for reading my review! 

When I can change the notes from blue to black, I will give this app five stars. 😀

### 5/5 — Great for building sight reading skills

*2022-08-21, version 1.6.2*

This app is exactly what I was looking for. It’s a no frills layout that lets you practice reading notes very easily and rapidly without distracting games or challenges. Thank you very much. 
…if you do update the app - It would be wonderful to be able to practice the grand staff as well.

### 5/5 — Correct notes for a piano!

*2022-08-19*

App is good and correct and does include some ledget notes! „superduperu“ is not correct but maybe has different instrument but review reads like a troll, so ignore that review please. Sorry, I can not tell you how hogh or low it goes, but I assume it goes to Ledger note C or maybe Emin treble cleff and probably down to ledger note E or maybe C in bass clef at least. (C3 and c3? I have forgotten how to write this. Sorry!)
