Pianonimo

Pianonimo allows to learn reading the treble clef, the bass clef and the position of notes on a piano keyboard.

6 games are available:

Staff and piano keyboard

In the first game, a note on a staff is shown in the center of the screen. You must click on the key of the piano that corresponds to this note. To help you, the name of notes was put on the keyboard of the piano.

The note can take 4 different colors: blue for E and B, orange for C and G, green for D, F, A and red for the others.

In the second game, a color bubble was put on the keys of the piano. Colors are the same on the keyboard and on the staff (blue when it is E or B, green when it is D, F or A, etc. ..)

In the third game, there is not any more help on the keyboard of the piano.

Each game contains 14 progressive levels.

Name of a note and piano keyboard

In the fourth and the fifth game, the name of the note is shown. To help you in the fourth game, a color bubble was put on the keys of the piano.

In the fifth game, there is not any more assistance on the keyboard of the piano.

These 2 games contain 4 progressive levels.

For these 5 games, it is possible to have 2 players.

• When you choose 1 player, you can use the mouse or the keyboard of the computer to answer. In this case, a green square appears on the representation of the keyboard of the piano. You must move it with the keys 2 and 3, then validate your response with the key 0.
• When there is 2 players, a yellow square appears on the representation of the keyboard of the piano. The second player must move it with the keys F and G, then validate the answer with the key C

Staff and names of the notes

In the sixth game, a note on a staff is shown. You must click on the bubble containing his name. This game contains 14 progressive levels.

Each game is managed by Metronimo. The passage at the upper level is possible if you obtain more than 200 points. You win 10 points when it's a good answer. You lose 20 points when it's a wrong answer. A High Score is available for each of the games. The 10 better   scores obtained in 60 seconds are saved.

Options

You can choose the time of the game: 30 seconds to 15 minutes. For the High Score, the time is always 60 seconds.

It is possible to choose the appearance of the note: whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, bubbles, smiley, soccer, basket-ball. The smiley is special. In case of error, it does not smile . It will smile again if the answer is correct .

At the start of the program, you must choose a name. The program saves all the parameters of the player (level, appearance of the note, sound effects). Only scores are common to all the users. It is possible to choose a password if you don't want that the other users know your results. The number of players is limitless.

The users can be deleted. To prevent students of a school having access to this function, an external program was created. You can only use it if you bought a license of Pianonimo.

It is possible to connect the program to a MIDI instrument. To answer the questions, you can use a keyboard of synthetizer instead of using a mouse or a keyboard of computer.
