Description
Learn to Read Music with Note Rush! Note Rush boosts your note reading speed and accuracy, building a strong mental model of where each written note is on your instrument. Now even better with Note Rush: 2nd Edition!
How it Works
---------------------------
Note Rush is like a virtual flash card deck for all ages that listens to you play each note, giving instant feedback and awarding stars based on speed and accuracy of note identification.
Race against the clock to improve your performance or hide the timer to gently engage those just starting out with the staff.
Includes built-in levels for piano and a range of other instruments as well as custom level design.
What makes Note Rush Different?
---------------------------
- Play On Your Instrument
Note reading is best learnt in the context of how you identify and play each note - on your acoustic or MIDI instrument.
- Designed for Teachers
...and not as a replacement for them! Create fully customizable note sets and easily send them home to students.
- Fun Themes
Engage with fun themes that don't get in the way of learning, or opt for traditional notation.
Landmarks: The best way to learn your notes
---------------------------
Note Rush fits with all teaching methods, whether you favor a purely intervallic approach or use traditional mnemonics! We promote learning key landmark notes then reading adjacent notes intervallically for the best results in learning to read piano notation.
Note Rush features a unique landmarks-based hints system (optional) that highlights nearby landmark notes to read intervallically from. Over time students naturally move from reliance on landmarks to a more intrinsic staff-to-keyboard association.
Preset and Custom Levels
---------------------------
Use preset note ranges or create your own set of levels to suit your teaching style. Create a personalized level to target a particular student’s needs.
- Individual Note Selections
- Sharps and Flats
- Treble, Bass or Grand Staff (alto and tenor coming soon)
- Up to Six Ledger Lines
- Send custom note reading drills using App Links or QR Codes

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

Hi there!
- I've heard those asking for longer games to drill more notes without restarting so often, so in this update I've added new 5x and 8x repeats options in Level Designer.
- Plus, I was recently interviewed by Tracy and Sara for an Upbeat Piano Teachers webinar, and this update contains a little surprise for those who sign up to watch! Keep an eye on the Note Rush facebook page (or email list) for details over the next few days...
Enjoy!

- Did you know you can hide the timer in-game by tapping on it? Now, with this update, hiding the timer will also initially hide the results at the end of each game (you can still tap to reveal the results if you wish). Useful for students who work better when not under pressure!
- Fixed a note recognition bug where in some cases certain notes would ignore microphone input for several seconds when they first appear.
- Improved QR Code rendering and scanning quality on Level Cards (also added Note Rush logo to QR Code).
- As usual, a bunch of other minor improvements.

This update adds full iPhone X support (now utilising the whole screen). It also fixes a problem that was causing Note Rush to run very slowly on some older devices. (Please let me know if it's still slow!) There are also some further significant improvements to note detection, which should result in snappier, more accurate, gameplay.
Enjoy!

Please add sharps & flats
I recently bought this app for my son and also to evaluate it for my violin students. While I really like many things about it, I have a few suggestions. Most importantly, it would be so helpful to include sharps and flats. This is especially true for string students because sometimes the natural notes are more difficult to play for beginners since they involve different finger patterns students may not have learned yet and aren’t ready to tackle. Also, learning to read sharps and flats correctly is a very important skill.
The other improvement I would suggest is enabling the repetition of pitches. This may already be possible, but I couldn’t figure it out.

Quickest way to memorize notes!
I haven’t played the piano in many years, mainly because it’s been so frustrating trying to play more advanced songs when I’ve forgotten the higher and lower notes on the scale. This app has helped me recognize notes much faster within the first two days I’ve used it! It lets you isolate bass and treble or practice them together. It also lets you start with the notes around middle C and then move to other levels that bring you gradually further and further out fro middle C. And you are literally training yourself to see a note on a scale and press the appropriate key, rather than memorizing whether it’s A, B, C, etc or just matching it with an image of a piano key. I highly recommend it- totally worth the $4.99 I spent on it.

The perfect app to learn piano notes!
I wanted a simple app that could help me learn and memorize treble and bass clef notes on my piano. This app did exactly that!! Warning! This timed game style format is addictive as you try to beat your time. While the audio recognition was good, the MIDI connection was perfect allowing me to practice and not wake up the rest of the family. I wasn’t using the theme notes until my grandson came over and wanted to try playing but only using the soccer ball and the ghost at Halloween; what a brilliant idea to encourage children!!! My only request to the developer is to now create the ability to learn and practice chords in addition to single notes ( with MIDI connection this should be workable ). Well done app! Thank you
aewaustin,
Awesome app for adults.
In reading the reviews I wasn’t really sure what I was going to get, but so glad I purchase this app. It’s actually my first review ever for an app because I’m quite surprised folks don’t love it more, and wanted to share my take on it. I am learning piano and just wanted to have an app to figure out the notes with, it’s absolutely perfect for that. You get to choose exactly what notes she would like to practice and then it makes a little game for you to practice, just in the 10 minutes I used it it was so helpful. So definitely purchase if you want a simple to learn notes. And for adults it has just a simple interface that doesn’t have animals or goblins or anything for kids.

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!!

Exactly what I was looking for!!
I am so happy with this app. I am a piano teacher and I am so excited that I found this app! I love that it works with the sound from a real piano and that it recognizes octaves! My students love working in this app and one even asked to do it first because she wanted to beat her own score. Thank you so much for making such a perfect customizable and yet simple app that even my younger students can use. I used to time my students playing notes with regular flash cards but I couldn’t flip the cards fast enough and it was a little stressful because I would drop cards or the timer wouldn’t work right. So many things for me to have to think about. Not any more! I am so happy!!

Speedy Response Time
At first I was worried about the “listening” response time so I purchased the Yamaha MD-BT01 Bluetooth adapters for my Disklavier Enspire piano before purchasing Note Rush, but “listening” via the iPhone microphone is just as speedy as the MIDI Bluetooth.
At first I couldn’t figure how to save multiple versions of my own level cards but one reviewer’s video showing saving QR codes to Photos and then loading those was very helpful. If there’s a manual describing the process, I couldn’t find it. It’s an interesting solution to the problem of how to save your own level cards.
Also had a difficult time figuring how to get naturals, sharps and flats in the level design mode, but then realized there are ghosted columns for naturals, flats and sharps. Just select the note you want on the line or space in the appropriate column.
This is a terrific app! Associating the notes on the keyboard with the notes on the staffs is much better for me than clicking a button on the regular flash card apps. The other listening app I tried had very slow response times.

candifer,
Really great app!
My young flute students love this app! If you’re looking for simple note recognition flash cards, this is not the app for you. However, this is a great next step from note recognition to actually playing the correct note on your instrument. For beginner flute players getting the correct combinations of fingers is challenging. Making it into a game makes it fun.
I would give 5 stars if this had a level for treble clef that didn’t go below middle C but went into higher upper ledger lines (think F6-B6) to make this a more useful tool for my specific instrument. (Reading upper treble ledger lines is a really important skill for flautists to learn.) Still great as is, but not as useful for my 3rd year beginner-intermediate students.

Sambanstan,
Love this app! (would love to see moveable clefs)
I teach music, and this app has been wonderful for my students. It’s a great way to warm up at the start of lessons or to break up activities. I love the level editor! It allows you to choose the notes students are quizzed over. The ability to change themes on the home screen is also great! Students love to choose a theme before starting the game. I would love to see one featured added to this app: moveable clef support. I have some students who need to learn tenor clef and alto clef, and I would love to be able to use this app with them!
Note Rush gal,
Love note Rush
This is a Extremely good App plus I really like it and and it lets me practice my piano a little bit most of the times I really really like it now that I fix my piano problem because it didn’t tell the letters but ever since I’ve open that little top part it’s been working because the thing you open that you can hear it I guess when you can hear like super loud it’s only when you open the little thing that’s on the piano and then ever since I’ve done that it’s been working so yeah I gave you five star raid
