Update: The 2nd Edition is now out for Note Rush! I made a chart that includes the built-in levels so that we can use those as our guide for our ongoing challenge. Check your lesson planner on page 65 for space to keep track of your fastest times!

I challenge all of my students to a friendly note reading competition! To participate, you will need the 'Note Rush' app. Visit www.noterushapp.com for details. It is available on iPhone, iPad, Android and Kindle Fire. Note Rush is made by Thomas Grayston, a software developer, pianist, and husband to a piano teacher. I am not affiliated with Mr. Grayston in any way... I just think this app is a really fun way to develop confidence in note reading.

If you have a new record (fastest time), take a screenshot or photo to send to me showing your time! I will publish the names of the record-holders on this page (along with a photo of you, if you wish).

Ukulele and Bass Guitar do not have default levels in the app. You can use these custom levels by scanning the QR code:
