Class goal this week
Stuck on a key? Ask Melo.
AskTry what your students play
Name five notes before Melo reaches the flag. In the real arena, students race 60-second sprints, climb ten tempo ranks from Grave to Prestissimo, and take on your class challenges.
Learn
Twenty-seven lessons in textbook order, from reading the staff to analysing real progressions. Each idea is taught, then explored, before you drill it.

Lesson 8 · Major Scales
Short HD lessons on the staff and at the keyboard, taught by a working music educator.
Each lesson’s idea unfolds step by step on a real engraved staff you can play and hear, so it makes sense before you practise it.
Lesson notes · Major scales
Remember: tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.
A clear written summary of every lesson, with notation, worked examples and the rules worth remembering.
Why does F major have a B♭?
Count the steps from F. A to B needs a semitone, so B drops to B♭!
On any page, members can ask Melo a question, have it quiz them, or work through a problem with it step by step.
Practise and check
Questions are generated fresh every time, so there is always another one, and every answer is checked the moment you give it.
Name notes and chords, write them on the staff, pick them out on the keyboard, identify what you hear and tap rhythms in time.
Q6 · D major has two sharps
Q8 · Why:Sharps come in order F C G D A E B.
Each lesson ends with a quiz checked on the server, with an explanation for every question you miss.
● Mastered● Learning● Shaky
What you missed comes back until it sticks, and a mastery map shows every note, key and chord as mastered, learning or shaky.

Practice arena
Sixty-second sprints across 12 arenas, rated as a Theory Tempo that rises only when you get faster and stay accurate.
After every counted sprint, see how it compares with everyone’s sprints in that arena. Finish in the top 30% and it names your exact percentage; below that, it simply cheers you on.

Race Melo to the most points, or try to keep pace with it all the way. Pick its level from Andante to Prestissimo: it answers like a real player, at that tempo, and levels up and down by the same rules you do.
Ten ranks from Grave to Prestissimo, a ghost of your best run to race, and a boss round in every arena to earn its crown.
One minute on your slowest and shakiest items, with double XP for the first one each day.
