Writing a note is the next step after reading it. In these exercises you are given a note name (C, D, E…) and you place the note on the staff in the clef you choose, or in all of them. Click or tap the staff to place the note; any octave is accepted. Each quiz has 10 questions. If you are used to Do Re Mi, remember that C is Do in fixed-do countries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I place a note on the staff?
Click or tap the staff at the position where the note belongs, then press Check. Lines and spaces are both valid positions. Use the anchor note of the clef to count to the right place.
Why is any octave accepted?
The exercise checks the letter name only. A given letter can be written in several places on the staff, and each one is a different octave of the same note.
Are sharps and flats included?
No. These exercises use natural notes only, so you can focus on learning the positions in each clef.
