Landmark notesTreble clef

Know notes on sight

Counting up the lines works, but it's slow. Trebly starts from two landmarks: G, where the treble clef curls, and middle C, on its own short line. Then the lines and spaces become easy patterns.

Your weak notes come back

Trebly keeps track of every answer. Notes you miss or answer slowly come back sooner, and notes you know well step aside. Your practice time goes where it does the most good.

From notes to songs

Name each note of a familiar tune and hear it come together as you go. Get one wrong and it simply comes back around. Then keep a beat in Pulse, and write down what you hear in Dictation.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Trebly runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. On a computer, you can answer with your keyboard too.
