Listen to melodic sequences and play them back, just like the classic memory game, but with music. Train your ear with patterns drawn from real traditional fiddle tunes. How It Works 1. Listen to a sequence of notes 2. Tap the notes on the virtual fingerboard to repeat what you heard 3. Progress from simple patterns to complete tunes Two Ways to Play Sequence Mode: Work through 40 levels of melodic patterns across D, G, A, and C major keys. Patterns are drawn from common phrases in traditional fiddle music — real musical vocabulary, not random exercises. Use hints when you're stuck, but watch out, three strikes and you'll break a string! Challenge yourself with Speed Rounds, Pop Quizzes, and Odd Note Rounds at milestone levels. Tune Mode: Learn actual fiddle tunes measure by measure. Start with the pickup notes, build phrases, and play through complete traditional melodies like The Girl I Left Behind Me and Cold Frosty Morning. Preview any tune during gameplay to hear how it should sound. Limited selection available now, but more to come! Customize Your Practice Choose how notes display: Standard (A, B, C#), Nashville Numbers (1, 2, 3), or Solfège (Do, Re, Mi).
