Notes and Symbols

First you hear each note and pick a picture for it. Then the note plays and you answer with the picture, no note names.

Classic Pitch · level 1 of 44 · C and G

In the app, the answer is the note name, on the piano. No sign-up until level 4.

The idea

People with perfect pitch recognize each note as if it had a face of its own. Here you give it that face: a picture for each note, chosen by you while you hear it, and then you answer with the picture — not the name, which tends to start you counting "C, D, E…". It's an experiment in memory by association; we don't know if it helps.

How it works

You start with 3 notes: you hear each one and pick its symbol. Then come 10 rounds — hear it, tap the symbol; the piano appears right after, with the symbols on the keys. With 8 hits, and the newest note well recognized, the next note joins, and you pick its symbol too, all the way to twelve. Your map and progress are saved on this device.

FAQ

Does this teach perfect pitch?

We don't know. To measure where you are today there is the perfect pitch test, with no pictures and no feedback along the way.

Can I change the symbols later?

Yes, any time, on the map. Changing them often gets in the way: the point is for the picture to stick to the note.

How is this different from the app?

In Classic Pitch the answer is the note name, right on the piano, across 44 levels. The symbols may work as a bridge to it.
