## What is NoteWorks Lite?

NoteWorks Lite is a musical game, designed to teach note recognition and improve sight reading skills. Hungry Munchy is eager to swallow elusive blue notes. Your goal is to help Munchy catch each note as quickly as possible.

The game combines learning and fun into a single gratifying experience. The app is both educational and entertaining, with an intuitive and visually appealing interface.

NoteWorks Lite was created for:
• Players of all ages. 
• Families with multiple players.
• Music teachers with multiple students.

Game design features include:
• A funny animated character.
• User-friendly menus.
• Superb graphics.
• Engaging sound effects.
• MIDI

Note reading options:
• On-screen piano keyboard input.
• "A, B, C" note naming.
• "Do, Re, Mi" note naming.
• Treble clef.

Educational features:
• Students learn by playing a game and having fun.
• In practice mode, students are helped with hints.
• In challenge mode, students play for points and stars.
• Students learn to recognize notes instantly, on sight.

While music teachers persistently stress the importance of sight reading, most teachers prefer not to spend valuable lesson time on basic note recognition skills. Thus, NoteWorks Lite helps music teachers concentrate on more interesting aspects of their art, such as technique and musicality.

NoteWorks Lite was created for people who like to learn by playing and having fun. It was designed with the objective of neither being too easy nor too hard, and never boring.
