NoteQuest: the free music game to read notes and train your ear
NoteQuest teaches the building blocks of music through play. Kids learn to read notes on the treble and bass staff, recognize intervals and chords by ear, build major scales, and tap back rhythms — all with real synthesized sound. Free to play, with no ads and no tracking of your kids.
What kids learn
- Naming notes on the treble and bass staff, including ledger-line notes
- Identifying intervals by ear and telling major from minor
- Hearing and repeating short melodies and steady beats
- Tapping back rhythms with rests and dotted notes
- Reading key signatures and naming the major key
- Building major scales with the whole-and-half-step pattern, plus tempo and dynamics terms
How it works
Reading and theory activities are tap-a-choice quizzes over a real music staff, with the sound played back on reveal. Ear-training and rhythm modes play tones or a metronome and grade how closely kids tap back the beat. There's also a tap-to-play xylophone that lights up as it plays familiar tunes.
A grown-up signs in once and adds a player for each kid, so NoteQuest's stars and progress save to your account and follow you to any device.
