A free computer game to learn note durations
When writing music, it is necessary to indicate the relative
duration of each note. The duration of a note is indicated by
its appearance.
Happy Note! Notes in Space is a free computer game that makes
it easy to learn and remember what shape of note corresponds to
what relative duration (whole, half, quarter) as well as the ratio
of any note duration to any other (1 whole note = 2 half notes;
1 half note = 2 quarter notes; 1 whole note = 4 quarter notes)
:
- For you to score, the duration indicated by the spaceship (whole,
half, quarter) must match the duration of the note you're shooting
at.
- When you hit a whole note, it splits into 2 half notes; when
you hit a half note, it splits into 2 quarter notes
- When 2 quarter notes collide with each other, they turn into
1 half note. When 2 half notes collide with each other, they turn
into 1 whole note.
- At the start of each game, you must answer a multiple choice
mini-quiz on note durations. Your answer will determine how many
lives you start the game with.
- You have the option to have the game display or not the duration
of each note you hit.
You can configure Happy Note! Notes in Spaces so it will be suitable
for players of any age:
- There are three levels of difficulty: BEGINNER- ADVANCED- EXPERT
- You can give yourself bonus points at the start of each game
by clicking on the score indicator
- You can activate or deactivate the comets and meteors at the
start of each game
Happy Note! Notes in Spaces remains fun to play even after you've
memorized the relative duration of each type of note.
