Melody

Game:

You hear a melody and must:
• in multiple choice: choose the correct answer from (max. 5) possible answers;
• for dictation: put the notes in the right place (and possibly add accidentals).

The app generates questions in ‘random’ order based on teacher-chosen material and preferences.
