A selection of challenges specifically designed to improve your sight reading. Play the right notes and try to beat your best score. Note Hitter contains flash cards to teach note recognition and games to test your ability to sight read from a score. Each challenge contains notes from a particular scale or arpeggio. Use your own instrument to play the right notes as they appear. When you hit the right pitch the note will pop. As you improve the games get faster and more challenging using more notes from scales with more sharps or flats. You will learn a lot and have fun at the same time. How far can you go? From a gentle start Note Hitter builds up to 3 octaves at tempos of up to 180 bpm with notes chosen from 6 types of exercise and all tonics. That keeps even the best musicians busy! Once you have earned a feature you can go for the next one or deselect it to concentrate on a particular configuration until you're ready. Note Hitter Lite enables you to play the first level of Note Hitter. Can you hit every note even in the hardest keys? Note Hitter supports multiple users and multiple instruments per user. There is also a feature to change the transposition of the written notes (not available in Note Hitter Lite). Instruments supported include Voice (Note Hitter Voice may be a better choice for vocalists), Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Clarinet, Flute, Oboe, Saxophone, Bassoon, Recorder, Trumpet, Cornet, Trombone and Horn.
