Reading notes
Match a note's position on the staff with its key. Start with a small range before adding more notes.

What would you like to work on?
Keeping time
Use Beats for rhythm practice and Metronome for a steady pulse. Begin at a comfortable tempo; accuracy is a better target than rushing.
Listening closely
Use Ear Training to connect sounds with notes. Listen first, make a choice, then use the exercise feedback to guide another attempt.
Seeing musical patterns
Explore Chords and Scales to connect notes into patterns. Circle of Fifths supports exploring relationships between musical keys.
Bring the skills together
Song practice puts notes into a musical context. Theory Lab provides another route into clefs, notes and rhythm. Smart Coach's personalized plan and reports help you decide what to practice next.
A simple five-minute starting routine
- Spend two minutes matching notes to keys, using a range you can manage.
- Spend two minutes focusing on one rhythm or listening exercise.
- Spend one minute reviewing what was difficult and choosing your next focus.
This is a suggested routine, not a promise of a particular learning result. Adjust the pace and duration to your own needs.
