Notes Quiz (ノーツクイズ) 1.9.3

This application serves as a training tool designed to enhance music reading skills, specifically aimed at beginners to intermediate players who struggle to correlate the notes written on the staff with the corresponding keys on the piano, organ, or keyboard instruments.

The 'Notes Quiz' allows users to address common challenges associated with music reading such as:

• Difficulty in sight-reading.
• Poor aural skills.
• Struggles with sight-playing.
• Comfortable with treble clef but particularly challenged by bass clef.
• Confusion when encountering sharps and flats.
• A desire to train in various keys beyond C major and A minor.
• The aspiration to improve proficiency on instruments like the piano and synthesizer.
• Preparation for music school or university examinations.
• Lack of time for daily instrument practice.
• A need to develop reflexes related to music notation.
• A goal to enhance overall aural skills.
• A reliance on tablature and a wish to become proficient in reading traditional musical notation.

This app offers a variety of challenges across multiple keys, gradually increasing difficulty levels as users continue solving problems within a set time limit, making it suitable for more advanced musicians as well.

Users are encouraged to track their scores daily via social media or email and engage with the global community by competing for high scores through GameCenter. The app automatically adjusts the range of questions based on performance metrics such as attempt frequency and achieved scores. Features include:

• The introduction of sharps and flats in the quizzes.
• An increase in musical lines requiring two or more ledger lines.
• A growing variety of keys presented in the challenges.

Difficulty levels are saved within the app, allowing users the flexibility to lower or reset their difficulty settings through the preferences menu if desired.

Additionally, hints are available: once half of the allotted time has elapsed, clues will appear, displaying which keys correspond to which notes, thus aiding in the learning process.

For users with perfect pitch, turning off "Hint Sound on Start" in the settings menu will eliminate hint sounds during question prompts, facilitating a better focus on music reading.

In-app purchases enable access to additional features that allow training specifically for alto and tenor clefs (G clef).
