Note Academy

Note Academy (demo):

Set sail in Note Academy, a boat-rowing game built around a tight rhythmic learning loop. As notes appear on the musical staff (G Clef), your task is to identify them correctly to keep rowing. The continuous cycle of action and feedback naturally reinforces note recognition—especially middle-C–related notes—without requiring any prior musical knowledge.

Designed for anyone, Note Academy turns repetition into a core gameplay mechanic, making music learning feel intuitive, engaging, and memorable rather than academic.

✅ No music theory required
✅ Instant, clear feedback
✅ Learn by cycling through basic middle-C–related notes
✅ A simple looped structure: the boat moves, a note appears, you answer, repeat
✅ A learning feedback loop: you see, you identify, you see again—building fluency through repetition
