Treble Creek: Learn Music

Treble Creek is a sunny creek through a Pacific Northwest meadow, with eight music camps along its banks. Piper is a western meadowlark who loves to sing, and she is your child's music teacher. Every camp your child finishes earns Piper a new colored song feather.

Treble Creek teaches children to read, tap and play real music, one small step at a time. Eight camps follow the creek: sound and beat, note values, the staff and treble clef, the keyboard, the bass clef, time and measures, sharps, flats and scales, and putting it all together with intervals, chords and the instruments of the orchestra. At every stop Piper shows and tells something new, then your child plays with it: name the note, find it on the staff, tap the rhythm on a drum, play it on the keyboard and listen for the difference. Every camp ends with a little picture book, read aloud.

REAL MUSIC, TAUGHT THE RIGHT WAY
- 128 notes, symbols and ideas, each with its own clear picture and sound
- Real notation: treble and bass staff, the grand staff, note values, rests, time signatures, sharps and flats, key signatures, dynamics
- A real keyboard on screen: every key plays its true note
- Real recorded instruments: piano, violin, cello, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, xylophone and snare drum
- Every question is taught before it is asked, in a friendly voice that says exactly what is on the screen

THE MUSIC HALL
- A Song Book of 30 classic tunes to play note by note, with three levels of help: glowing keys, letters, then reading on your own
- Rhythm Run, Staff Sprint, Composer Corner (write and play your own tune), Meet the Instruments and eight true Composer Stories
- A Daily Tune: one short new challenge every day

LEARNS WITH YOUR CHILD
- A spaced-practice engine keeps track of every note and idea, brings back the shaky ones and moves on from the strong ones
- Rhythm tapping learns your device's timing, so taps are judged fairly
- A wrong answer is never punished: Piper helps, and the question comes back a little later

LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
- Spoken praise, stars, a sticker for every stop, medals, music pins and a trophy shelf
- A music board that lights up note by note as your child learns
- A girl or boy musician in five skin tones, so every child can pick the one that looks like them, with a matching narrator voice and six outfit colors
- Up to three players on one device, each with their own progress

FOR GROWN-UPS
- A grown-ups area (behind a multiplication question) shows each camp's progress and what is worth practicing next
- Voice, music and sound volume, and a reset for each player

SAFE FOR CHILDREN
- No ads, ever. No accounts, no sign-in, no chat, no links out
- No microphone: rhythms are tapped, never recorded
- No data is collected: progress and an optional first name stay on this device only
- Works fully offline
