After a short period of brief regular sessions with NoteCard, you will be able to recognize and name the musical notes without conscious effort or the risk of error, just as you are able to recognize the letters of the alphabet now. If you are learning to read music, and would like to move as quickly as possible towards mastery, NoteCard is for you.
