Name That Note

An educational music-reading drill. Pick the treble staff, the bass staff or the whole grand staff. Twenty notes appear on the staff one after another, and each one sounds as it appears. Name each note, A to G, before the counter runs out. The counter starts at 9 and drops about every two thirds of a second, and a right answer scores whatever is left on it, so a quick reader can score up to 180. Each note gets one answer only: a wrong answer is a miss and scores nothing, and the right letter is shown. The same note never comes twice in a row. At the end the game gives your score and how many notes you missed.

Controls: Use either controller. On the title, up and down choose a line, left and right change the staff, and a button starts. In play, left and right pick a letter and a button answers.
