Frequently Asked Questions

First, decide if you want to play on the grand staff or single staff. Tap the leftmost of the bottom center buttons to switch between single and grand staff.

For the grand staff, each player identifies notes on his/her own staff; whereas, players race to identify the same note on the single staff.

Second, choose which clef and notes you want to play with. Tap the clef mark to toggle between treble and bass; tap a note to select/deselect it.

Third, tap the arrow in the upper right to start the game. For the grand staff game, the player on the left taps the note name button to match the lower staff; the player on the right taps the note name button to match the upper staff. Correct answers move you up the rope, while incorrect answers move you down. The first one to the top wins.

For the single staff game, it is a race to see which player can select the correct note name first.

These alternative ways to play can be good options if a teacher is playing with a student:
1. Head start: Let the student have a head start, so when the teacher starts to play, their climber chases the student's climber up the rope.
2. Take turns: Let the student take the first turn, then alternate so that only one person is selecting a note at a time.

Note Climb is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Amazon Appstore.

Most iPhones, iPads, android phones and tablets, and Kindle Fire devices are compatible. However, there are certain software and hardware requirements.

Check the appropriate app store to verify your device meets the requirements.
