Music Games

Three ways to play with music

This section has three very different kinds of game. In the singing games you sing: the microphone on your phone or computer checks whether you are in tune, and the more in tune you are, the farther your musician goes. In the music theory games you read: you recognize or write what you see on the staff (an interval, a scale or a chord). In the ear training games you listen: notes play and you have to remember and recognize them. Only the singing games use the microphone. All of them are free and run right in your browser.

Ear training games

Games to train your ear, no microphone needed: in Memorize a sequence of notes plays and you repeat it in the same order, one note longer each round, and in Track Cycling you race the clock to say whether each melody is major or minor.

Looking for something slower? The music theory exercises have no timer, and the online tuner checks the pitch of an instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the singing, theory and ear training games?
In the singing games you sing, and your device’s microphone checks whether you hit each note in tune. The theory games need no microphone: you work with what is written on the staff (an interval, a scale or a chord). The ear training games do not use the microphone either: notes play and you have to remember and recognize them.
Do I need a microphone to play?
Only for the singing games. The theory and ear training games never use the microphone: you play with the mouse, your finger or the keyboard.
Is my score saved?
Yes. Each game keeps your scores on your own device. When a game ends you can also publish your result to the weekly world leaderboard under a nickname, with no sign-up: only the nickname, the musician and the result are published.
Are all the games free?
Yes. Every game on the site is free, runs in the browser, and needs no installation or account.
