What is the Note Finder?

An interactive trainer for naming and locating notes on piano and guitar. It plays the note when you answer so you connect the visual position with the sound.

Notes use real frequencies generated through the Web Audio API. Pitch is exact in equal temperament tuning.

Does it use standard tuning?

Yes - guitar is shown in standard EADGBE tuning with twelve frets. The same pitch class appears in multiple positions, all of which count as correct in Locate mode.

Any tips for memorising notes?

Sing or speak the note name as you click, focus on natural notes first, and aim for daily short sessions to lock in muscle memory.

How to use the Note Finder

Pick an instrument - piano keyboard or guitar fretboard.
Choose a mode: Notes → instrument reads a note off the staff and asks you to click it. Instrument → name flips the direction. Reading only tests the name alone.
Set difficulty - Naturals only is great for beginners; All notes adds sharps and flats.
Listen to the note when you answer, build a streak, and track your accuracy across sessions.

Practice tips

Say the note name out loud as you click - it builds the audio-to-name link faster.
On guitar, learn one string at a time before mixing strings together.
Short daily sessions (3–5 minutes) beat one long session per week.
