The best music flash card app for students of all levels

I purchased this app for my piano group students & I end up using it all the time for my private piano students too. In the group setting, we race as a team. We sit around the iPad & the students take turns naming the notes. It is such a hit that they usually ask for it at every lesson. In a private lesson, I usually start lessons with a quick round of 10 or 20 flash cards while I open notebooks & generally get myself situated.

I love that I can select exactly the notes that I want to drill & I can even email them to my students. The students love playing games to review their notes.

The students love the reindeer background for the game. It would be great to have a Valentines one or an Easter one too (the kids would be so excited!)

One little problem I have with the app is the "you lose" message & wah, wah, wah music at the end if you dont beat the other horse. My beginners use the slowest setting (walk) but often just cant beat the other horse. Maybe "good try" instead?

So far, I find it most appealing to the under-12 crowd, though if you were to add an option of alto & tenor clefs, Id definitely find a use for it with my intermediate & advanced theory teenagers :)

Ive tried several apps but this is definitely my go-to app for note-naming flash cards. I recommend this to all my under-10 students and recommend it as a "must-have" app for any music teacher.
