Become a music master. A note is shown on the stave; tap the matching letter name as fast as you can, build a streak, beat the clock. This is the free Staff Notes module of Music Master's Note Ninja — the whole game, stripped back to the one skill every music student needs first.

About this resource
Reading notes on the stave is the skill everything else in music theory sits on, and the only way to get fast is repetition. Note Ninja turns that repetition into a sixty-second game: a note appears, seven letter buttons wait underneath, and every correct tap extends the streak. Wrong answers cost you the streak, not the session — so students keep playing.
Settings switch between treble and bass clef and turn ledger lines on when the basics are solid. The cheat sheet is there for anyone who needs it; the gold coin — a perfect score with at least thirty correct in the minute — is there for anyone who doesn't. Results show score, accuracy and best streak, which makes it easy to run as a warm-up on the class projector or as five minutes of homework.
This is the Staff Notes module from Music Master's Note Ninja, free and without a login. The full Music Master adds the remaining Note Ninja modules, five more games, progress tracking and class dashboards.
