Reading rhythm means turning note values into real time: knowing when each note starts and how long it lasts. In this game, the figures appear on a proportional staff — the distance between notes corresponds exactly to their duration — and a timeline sweeps across the measure at constant speed. Your task: play each note at the exact instant the line reaches it.
How the game measures
Precision is measured in milliseconds. The scoreboard shows how close each tap was to the ideal moment, and your score reflects consistency across the whole exercise — hitting one note is not enough, you have to hold the pulse.
Levels and free mode
Ranked mode has 30 levels in 6 worlds: it starts with whole, half and quarter notes at a comfortable tempo, moves through eighths, dotted figures and ties, and reaches rests on the subdivision, syncopation and the fine grid of sixteenths and thirty-seconds, in four-bar phrases. The first three levels are open; from the fourth on, an account keeps your progress and puts you in the ranking. Free mode lets you build your own practice: the figures, the time signature (2/4, 3/4 or 4/4), the tempo and the metronome.
Where, and with what
It runs in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone — tap the screen, the space bar or a MIDI keyboard, where a chord or an octave counts as a single tap. In the settings you choose the note's sound and turn on the beat ruler. For teachers it is a direct complement to the lesson: the student practices at home the rhythmic reading seen in class, and the school's group shows where each one gets stuck.
