Can you name the note? Sheet Music Quiz is a music theory quiz for anyone learning to read sheet music. You're shown notes on a staff — treble and bass clef — and your job is to name them. Each round gives you a new set of notes to identify. Get instant feedback, hear each note played as you practice, and watch your accuracy improve over time. Three difficulty levels let you start simple and work your way up — whether you're a complete beginner or brushing up before a music exam. • Treble and bass clef notes • Audio playback — hear every note as you practice • Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced difficulty • Stats: streak, note history, and accuracy chart • Choose how many rounds per session • Clean, distraction-free interface Beginner is free. Intermediate and Advanced unlock with a one-time purchase — no subscription.

Train your ear and your eye. Aubel is ear training and sight-reading for music students. Hear intervals, scales, and chords and name them. Read notes, chords, and key signatures on the staff. A progression engine starts from what you already know and opens up new material as you get accurate. LISTEN Intervals, scales, chord quality, and intonation, by ear. Two notes and a gap. A scale running up and down. Four notes stacked into a chord. Train one at a time, or mix them. READ Notes on the staff, intervals, scales, chords, and key signatures, on sight. The same progression that sharpens your ear sharpens how fast you read. PRACTICE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS Most people mean to do ear training and never get to it. The problem is timing, not motivation. Aubel makes the practice come to you. Set a morning alarm that plays a few notes and won't dismiss until you name them. Put distracting apps behind a quick challenge with Screen Time, so opening Instagram costs you five intervals first. COMPETE A daily chord-progression puzzle, the same one for everyone, every day. Weekly leagues that sort you against players at your level. A global board. Head-to-head battles with friends whenever you want one. FOR CLASSROOMS Teachers can run a class, assign quizzes, and see who is keeping up, with full reporting on the web. PRICING Aubel is free to start. One payment unlocks everything, and you pay what it is worth to you. No subscription, ever. WHY EAR TRAINING A trained ear shrinks the gap between what you imagine and what you play. You hear the chord changes coming. You catch your own tuning. You learn songs off a recording instead of waiting for the sheet music. Every music student knows ear training matters. Almost nobody does it, because the plan to practice later this week loses to everything else on the list. Aubel fixes the timing first. The session is thirty seconds, and the apps you already open ask for it. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
