How to use color notes to learn new notes

Just as the Learning menu of our game Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef, Happy Note! Sing 'n Learn uses color notes to make learning a new note easier.

To learn a new note, you can work with two types of lectures:
- In the A lectures, the new note is shown in color, so you can spot it right away
- In the B lectures, the new note is shown in black, just like the other notes

 


Compatibility with the Learning menu
in Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef

The color notes of Happy Note! Sing 'n learn match those used in the Learning menu of Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef. For instance, Lesson 2A features the same color note as the 2 notes option of the Learning menu in Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef; Lesson 3A features the same color note as the 3 notes option etc.

NOTE. The Learning menu of Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef is designed for those players who use the game as a full-fledged method to learn how to read music. Those players who use Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef as a complement to another method, or simply to fine-tune their music reading skills, can choose freely which note to play with simply by clicking on it at the start of the game.


How to take advantage of the compatibility between Happy Note! Sing 'n Learn and Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef

Open Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef, then select the 3 notes option on the Learning menu. Your screen should then look like this:

treble clef e

The Learning/3 notes option features 3 notes:
- C and G are shown in black. They are the notes you've learnt to recognize with the Learning/2 notes option.
- E, the new note, is shown in color : throughout the game, E will remain in color, so you can recognize it more easily.

Go ahead now, and play the game. Explore all the options, until you've become thoroughly familiar with the new note (E). Now, switch to Happy Note! Sing'n Learn and select Lesson 3A with a color note :

music note e

As you can see, Lesson 3A with a color note features the exact same 3 notes (C E G) and the same color note E as the Learning/3 notes option in Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef.

Go ahead now, and practice every tempo in Lesson 3A with a color note. When you're done, go back to Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef and left-click on the color note (E) to turn it black.

Start a new game. Now, whenever E appears on your screen, it is black just like the other 2 notes. You must now recognize it even though the color isn't there to help you any more.

Go ahead and play until you recognize E right away, even without the color to help you. Then, go back to Happy Note! Sing 'n Learn and practice Lesson 3B without a color note :

music note e

Once practicing Lesson 3B has become easy and routine, you are ready to learn another note. Next time you play with Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef, select the Learning/4 notes option: the notes you learnt previously (C, E, G) will appear in black, and the new note, D, will be in color (Happy Note! Sing ' Learn Lesson 4A with a color note). Left-clicking on D in Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef will turn it black (Happy Note! Sing 'n Learn Lesson 4B without a color note).
