Compete on guitar, bass, ukulele, violin and drums with quick matches, daily challenges and leaderboards. Start free as a guest; groups are optional. Live players, recorded results and computer practice are clearly labeled. All instrument Quests are free. Finish each practice, earn up to three stars, and continue at your own pace. KEEP YOUR PIANO PRACTICE Continue your piano Quests, Drills, ear training and chord practice. Start piano Quests in treble clef, bass clef or both. Your existing piano progress and purchases are preserved. CONNECT NOTATION WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT • Guitar: connect staff notation and TAB with all six strings and fret positions. • Bass guitar: find notes on the fretboard and practice melodies in a lower register. • Ukulele: learn chord shapes and strumming on screen, then explore melodies. • Violin: connect notes with strings and the finger or position labels shown. • Drums: identify kick, snare and hi-hat on the score and select the matching pads. LEARN THROUGH FAMILIAR MUSIC Explore practice arrangements of existing pieces, with score sources and excerpts identified. Listen to an example, choose a range of measures and repeat it. Drum songs use educational accompaniments. After a one-bar count-in, tap the pads with the metronome and melody and get timing feedback on your screen taps. KNOW WHAT TO PRACTICE NEXT Use demonstrations and hints, then try independently. Review mistakes and follow each instrument’s progress. Screen exercises do not listen through a microphone or assess physical playing technique. Start with free practice. Optional Monthly Premium unlocks additional songs, removes ads while active.

FlashNote turns note reading into a daily game. Students practice reading notes in short lessons, build streaks, earn XP and gems, and compete in weekly leagues. Teachers send practice tasks and follow each student's progress, while a friendly mascot and a home-screen streak widget keep practice fun. Learn treble clef, one note at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlashNote App at none against Read Notes's 2. FlashNote App also leads on ads (none vs shown). Read Notes's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
