The online guitar tutoring website, Jamplay, asked us to develop a custom version of Name that Note:PRE to fit in with the scoring structure and look of their existing games.

Click here for more information on the final game that we delivered.

Trial downloads of the latest Windows PC versions of both Name that Note and Name that Note: PRE are now available for download which offer a time-restricted sample of game-play to allow you to make an informed purchasing decision. Sadly, you won’t be able to post your scores to the leader boards as this feature is reserved for the full versions which you can activate from within the trials by following the simple instructions on-screen.

Both Name that Note games are available for just £15 each, or £25 for the two.

After more feedback, we’ve made the following changes to Name that Note: PRE:

• Music removed from the game screen.
• C note played before every unknown note to aid calibration.
• Possible to replay this C note as well as the unknown note at any time.

Feel free to continue to give us feedback so that we can keep improving these games!

Having just completed Name that Note: Pitch Recognition Edition, I revisited the original game to implement the improvements that had gone into the spin-off. The game now features:

• New music
• The ability to turn the music off/on
• The sharp notes have been added
• The two less popular clefs have been removed
• The scale now starts at C rather than A.

Thanks to some really helpful feedback that I received over the weekend, I’ve added new features and changed some settings on Name that Note: Pitch Recognition Edition. The changes are:

• The ability to turn the music off/on
• The sharp notes have been added
• You now get to see and hear the note that you selected whether you were right or wrong
• The scale now starts at C rather than A.

I’ve just completed a Name that Note spin-off that focuses on improving people’s pitch-recognition over the treble clef. This time around, the note in question is played rather than shown, and you must guess the correct note simply from what you hear. You can replay the note as many times as you like, though of course the clock is always ticking so best not hang around hitting the Replay button for too long!

Once you’ve made a guess – whether you’re right or wrong – you’ll get to see the note in question on the stave for a couple of seconds before the game moves onto the next note.

Name that Note is a Flash game that improves the user’s music-reading skills by tasking them to read music from 2 different clefs through 3 different difficulty levels. The challenge is to correctly name as many notes as you can within a time limit, with the higher difficulty settings giving you more difficult notes to work with in less time. Scores are saved to a leader board to promote friendly rivalry.

The game has proven to be very popular among music enthusiasts and has received very positive feedback.
