This program is another educational package aimed at teaching the notes and their positions on a musical score. It is split into two programs, one for the treble clef and the other for bass.

The user is first shown where all the notes lie on the stave then has to commit them to memory for the test. It consists of a musical note being shown and the user having to name the right note before a burning cinder falls into the firework box on the screen and destroys them. The more notes that are named, the faster the cinder falls. After naming ten notes, there is a mini firework display which will probably entertain users in the younger age brackets.

The screen display of the stave, clef and notes is sufficiently large so that if it were displayed on a large TV in a classroom, the whole class would be able to see it. The program is bug free as far as I could tell, and seems a useful tool for teaching one of the more basic points of music to a fairly young age group - mainly in the Juniors and Primary school.

Overall, very good value for £5.00.
