With KLearnNotes2 you can ...
... train both treble and bass clefs:
At STOP you can ...
select testnotes by their name and range
In the following screenshots only C and G notes are activated (by checkboxes under namebuttons) and only in a range limited by range sliders (to the right of the staff). This is the first of preset lessons focused on gradual learning of successive notes.
... click on a note to see its namebutton highlighted
... or click on a namebutton to see all notes of this name
At TEST ...
you see a note, which is a question ...
and should click on its namebutton.
You get comments whether you answered right ...
(here I clicked on the 'C' namebutton)
... or wrong.
(here I clicked on the 'G' namebutton)
There are two training modes.
(1) Vertical reading. You see each question in the middle of the screen at a fixed position - this gets you prepared for example for chord and interval recognition. For example, if you see two questions like:
you learn to recognize that these two notes (which are both C) are in one octave distance.
(2) Horizontal reading.
You see a note moving from right to left, until it crashes into
a clef sign - this gives a more game-like feeling (because of really limited
time for answer) but more importantly, it trains left-to-right sight-reading
(you get used to expecting next note farther to the right)
After a test ...
... your results will be commented and all notes you erred about will be clearly marked.
Unfinished future features
