DoReQuiz

DoReQuiz turns musical listening into a tactile game. Listen to a short melody, find the notes on the keyboard, and progress round after round. The app is designed to train musical hearing without a complicated interface: a clear keyboard, immediate feedback, several difficulty modes, and a playful visual style inspired by small electronic instruments. Included modes: - Guided mode: keys light up to show the melody. - Easy mode: short phrases on one octave. - Normal mode: longer and more demanding melodies. - Instrument quiz: listen to a sound and choose the matching image. - Chords: find several notes played together. - Freestyle: play freely on the keyboard. DoReQuiz is made for beginners, children, curious musicians, and anyone who wants to practice listening, melodic memory, and note recognition in a direct way. No theory required to start: listen, play, repeat.
