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
Recent changes: Removes the Location permission prompt that was inadvertently being triggered when enabling MIDI devices. (Location permission is required for scanning for bluetooth MIDI devices but not wired ones. Bluetooth scanning has been disabled for now but should be included in the next update!)

Comments on Note Rush: Learn to Read Music for Android
★★★★★Ben Warmuth· Mar 26, 2021
This is a great app! I use it for piano as well as band students. I love that I can customize levels to meet each individual student's need at the time of the lesson. A simple-to-use app that drills note recognition is exactly the kind of tool I need in my toolbox when teaching a lesson and this app is it.
★★★★★Deanna Duby· May 4, 2023
I love using Note Rush as a teacher! I recommend it to all my students. It has a little trouble recognizing low notes, but it's always being improved. Thanks for the reply, and for fixing the bug!
★★★★★Kelli Kickham· Mar 6, 2021
This app has really helped me in my piano playing. It was the quickest way for me to start recognizing notes on the fly and has improved my sight-reading immensely!

Purchased it, then shocked to see it doesn't have Done, Re, Mi, Fa... the german solfège notation system, which is used OUTSIDE AMERICA... It's not even that difficult to do. The app should be titled American Note Rush.
★☆☆☆☆Alanis Juarbe· Mar 13, 2025
Ever since I purchased the app, it does not detect any key I play. I don't know what the problem is, pls help!!
★☆☆☆☆Jonathan Arndt· Mar 22, 2026
Was working great but after the update plugging it in to a midi device crashes the app
★☆☆☆☆Bruce Wayne· Oct 14, 2021
You seriously need to update this or refund my money back. I bought this app to help my daughter with her piano. I see her playing the right notes, yet it's still showing up as the wrong note.
