Free Music Note Flash Cards
Treble clef and bass clef flash cards, one note at a time, with the name hidden until you reveal it. Choose the notes, use letter names or do re mi, and put it full screen for the class.
They work like paper music notation flashcards, with nothing to print or shuffle. Press Space to reveal, then Space again for the next note. Tap or click the card to do the same.
Practicing at home
- Say it before you reveal it. Name the note out loud, then check. Saying it is what makes it stick.
- Start small. For beginners: lines only, then spaces only, then Level 1. Move on when you get them right without thinking.
- Go faster with Hands-free. Set it to 3 seconds and try to name each note before it shows.
- Want a score? Training keeps track of the notes you miss and brings them back more often.
Using it in class
- Call and response. Show a note, the class calls out the name, then reveal it. Leave the sound on so they hear it too.
- Hands-free on the projector. Choose 5 seconds and the cards reveal and move on by themselves, so you can walk the room.
- Teams. Two teams take turns; a correct name before the reveal wins the card.
- Do re mi. The do re mi names are fixed do: C is always do. Choose Ti or Si for B, whichever your class sings.

Questions
Why whole notes?
They’re what printed flash cards use: the note head alone, with no stem to read. Where a note sits on the staff is all that matters for its name.
Which notes are in each set?
Level 1 and Level 2 are the game’s ranges. On the treble staff, Level 1 is middle C up to B, and Level 2 goes on to the G above the staff. On the bass staff, Level 1 is C3 to B3, and Level 2 is F2 up to middle C. Lines and Spaces are the notes on the staff’s lines or in its spaces.
How is this different from Training?
Flash cards are for you or your class to say the names out loud. Training is a game: you answer, it keeps score and brings back the notes you miss.
Do re mi or letter names?
Whichever your class uses. Both shows the two together, which helps when moving from one to the other.
