Learn to read notes with free online music games. "Name that Note" is a music notes game that allows music students to learn how to read music from 4 different clefs and through 3 different difficulty levels. Specifically, these are treble clef flash cards, bass clef flash cards alto clef flash cards and tenor clef flash cards. (C-clef flash cards). The challenge is to correctly name as many music notes as you can within a time limit, with the higher difficulty settings giving you more difficult notes to work with in less time. This free online music game is a wonderful complement to learn to read notes. The music flashcards are all digital, as they are web-based.
