Notes Ninja is neither. It's a genuine slicing game where the only tool is a swipe. That makes it something rare: a note-reading trainer that feels like play instead of homework, backed by a real progression of levels and beat-synced songs instead of a loop of the same ten flashcards. PERFECT FOR • Kids starting music lessons who need note-reading reps between classes • Parents looking for screen time that's actually teaching something • Adult beginners picking up an instrument who need to get fast at reading notes • Homeschool music education and general practice • Anyone who reads music in German H notation or Solfège and wants an app that matches how they were taught Notes Ninja is free to download, with no ads in any version. Continuing past level 15 requires Premium. Learn notes. Train your eyes. Have fun doing it. Privacy Policy: https://notesninja.app/policy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://notesninja.app/terms.html

Learn to read music in five minutes a day. Free, with no ads and no subscription. Zebra turns music theory into 20 short games you'll actually open again tomorrow — from naming your first white key to reading two clefs at once. START WHERE YOU ARE A guided path of 41 lessons takes you through the keyboard, the staff, rhythm, intervals, scales and ear training. Every lesson ends with a game that asks for exactly what it just taught. Nothing stays abstract for long. FIVE MINUTES IS A REAL SESSION Each game is a short round with instant feedback: the note turns green when you're right, red when you're not. Play one round waiting for the bus and you've made progress. Play five and you've hit your daily goal. 600+ LEVELS, SO YOU WON'T OUTGROW IT Twenty games, each with its own ladder. You start on white keys and note names. Further up you're sight-reading a scrolling score, building scales in every key, and writing down rhythms by ear. WHAT YOU'LL TRAIN • Note recognition — on the staff, on the keyboard, by name • Sight-reading — notes scroll, you play them in time • Rhythm — tap the beat, hold the long notes, take rhythmic dictation • Intervals and chords — recognize them and build them • Scales and key signatures — major and minor, every key • Two clefs at once — treble and bass together • Real melodies — play tunes you know from the very first chapter WHAT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK • A daily challenge, the same one for everyone, every day • Quests and a streak that rewards showing up • Stars, unlocked games, and a skills chart that shows what's lagging • Statistics on every game, so progress is a number and not a feeling ALSO INSIDE • A free piano and a metronome, always in your pocket • Works fully offline, on the plane and in the practice room • English, French, Spanish, Italian and German NO ACCOUNT.
