Note reading made fun! Note Rush is a game for practising note reading on the music staff to help you learn to play the piano, keyboard, flute, saxophone, violin... you name it! Note Rush shows you one note at a time in random order then uses the microphone to listen as you play through them like you would with note reading flash cards, only these flash cards check that you're playing the right note! Play with a bunch of fun themes and race to earn stars and beat your best time! Note Rush is great for teaching keyboard geography by making sure each note is played in the correct octave. An indispensable music theory must-have for learning sight reading at all levels of music education. "Great app for learning notes!" - App Store Review. "So much better than flash cards! My son loves using this app and his note reading has improved tremendously since starting. I'm thankful he can do this on his own and it keeps track of his high scores which is highly motivating for him." - App Store Review. "A blockbuster hit with teachers and students... I especially like using it at group lessons." - Leila Viss, 88pianokeys.me "Note Rush has quickly become my favorite app for piano teaching." - Joy Morin, colorinmypiano.com "Note Rush is a motivating app that engages students to improve quickly with their note reading skills. It is definitely one of my top favorites and will be used often!" - Jennifer Foxx, musiceducatorresources.com "Note Rush is a great way to review notes for the One Minute Club." - Susan Paradis, susanparadis.com *** Having trouble? See noterushapp.com/troubleshooting for help. *** Listens to Your Instrument ------------------------------ Note Rush helps students learn a strong association between notes on the page and keys on your instrument by using your device's microphone to detect when you play each note. Works with pianos, keyboards, flutes, violins, you name it! (See Q&A below for more about supported instruments.) Student-paced ------------------ Note Rush goes as fast or as slow as the student, with no time limits, so is suitable for complete beginners right through to being a fun challenge even for teachers! Grand Staff Context ----------------------- The whole grand staff is always visible, showing each note in full context and helping students improve their note recognition across the two staves. Octave-Sensitive Keyboard Geography --------------------------------------------- It's a "B", but which "B"?? Note Rush teaches keyboard geography by making sure you're getting the note in the right octave every time. Great for Home Practise ------------------------- Students will rush to their instrument at home every day with NoteRush, chasing stars and high scores! Unlike flash cards, children can drill note identification at home with no music-reading parent required to check if they're getting them correct - Note Rush checks for you! Play every day and you'll be great at reading piano music in no time. Levels ------- Note Rush has fifteen built-in Levels, from Middle C-Position right through to the full grand staff with 2 ledger lines above and below. There are Levels for Treble Clef, Bass Clef or full Grand Staff! Or make your own levels to practise reading specific notes, with sharps and flats for an added challenge! Better Than Flash Cards! ------------------------- Use Note Rush instead of printed flash cards! Note Rush was designed to replace the cards used in One Minute Club - a challenge you can run in your studio where students have to complete a given level in under a minute. Give it a try! -- Note Rush is made by Thomas Grayston, a software developer, pianist, and husband to a piano teacher.
What’s New
Long-awaited MIDI keyboard support is here! This allows Note Rush to be played silently with headphones - great for group classes or partner lessons. Just plug in your keyboard via a suitable adapter and Note Rush will detect that you're using MIDI automatically! Cables getting in the way? Note Rush now works in landscape mode too! If you've been using Note Rush sideways (a great way to highlight the mapping between the grand staff and piano keys btw!) you can still do this by turning on rotation lock before turning your device. Oh yes, and some further improvements to microphone-based note detection, plus a significant reduction in file size (a hefty 750mb down to a much more reasonable 240mb). Hope you love this update, and as usual please let me know what you think at www.noterushapp.com/contact-us or facebook.com/noterush Thanks! -Thomas

    Great!
    Wish it supported minor notes.

    Pretty darn good IMO
    Because I can program my own lessons, I can follow a Udemy course I’m currently doing on my iPad which was intended for some other operating system/platform. Very nice.

    I’m a piano teacher and I LOVE this app!
    It is the best thing since sliced bread! Finally an app that turned the hated flashcards into a fun game. It’s well done, very flexible! A must in my studio and for all of my students! Lori Arnold LaVerkin, Utah Show more

    Very helpful
    Well this app does help me with a lot of times when I am practicing piano. It teaches me how to identify the notes

    Glitchy
    It’s really glitchy and I have to play the note more than once to get it to read it and it’s really frustrating. Otherwise it’s pretty good

    I don’t know what to call the tittle
    I love this app. It helps me practice my notes better. I always thought that flash cards were boring. 100% better I am wondering if this app works for voice tone. But great app!? Show more

    Bad reception—good concept
    Although this game has an amazing idea of teaching students how to learn notes (as a student using this app for years now), it's response to notes is garbage. I really feel bad writing this review, because it as always been my go-to piano practicing app, but I think it is time to point out the problems. Often times when I am playing notes correctly, it glitches. Sometimes, it gives me a couple of seconds penalty (even when I am playing the notes correctly and in the correct octave), while other times it just completely ignores me. Either way, the app is glitchy. Even though of it's defects, in the long run, it helps get the job done. Amazing concept and I really think it definitely hooks players. Looking forward to the new update!! Show more

    App does not recognize electric piano
    This app has cool themes, but it doesn’t recognize our electronic piano when we play the notes. We play them over and over again and sometimes it will register on the 5th or 6th time playing the note. Very disappointed I wasted my money on this app. Show more
