About Croche: Learn to Read Music
Croche teaches you to read music in small daily doses, with exercises that adapt exactly to your level. THE CORE: SIGHT-READING Notes scroll across an animated staff. Name them or play them on a mini-keyboard before they reach the reading line. The scroll gently slows to give you time to answer — never a hard "game over," just a pace that adjusts to how fast you actually read. A FULL CURRICULUM, NOT A GIMMICK - Treble and bass clef, from anchor notes to ledger lines - Rhythm: pulse, eighth notes, quarter notes, rests, syncopation, compound meters - Intervals, by eye and by ear - Accidentals and key signatures — real sight-reading, not just "tap the right key" - Scales, keys, chords (major, minor, diminished, augmented, inversions) - A real ear-training pillar: recognize a played note, an interval, a wrong note in a melody A REPERTOIRE OF REAL MUSIC Well-known public-domain melodies built right into the path, so you're reading actual music as soon as you're ready — not just abstract drills. A PROGRESS LOOP THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO COME BACK Daily streaks, XP, gems, unlockable mascot cosmetics, timed challenges (endless sight-reading, relative ear training, sudden death), a built-in metronome with multiple tones. WHO IT'S FOR From complete beginners to players who already read but lack fluency — a placement test drops each profile exactly where they belong on the path. Croche is available in French, English, and Spanish. Termes of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
