Summary

note-noodle is a music theory practice service with interactive tools for fretboard work, staff notation, ear training, rhythm, play-along, and guided lessons. Play Along grades pitch and timing while a user performs using an instrument through a microphone, MIDI keyboard, or screen. It accepts MIDI and Guitar Pro files up to 5 MB, with three monthly uploads for free accounts. The curriculum covers 35 lessons through quizzes, unit exams, spaced repetition, and seven learning paths. Ear training includes eight categories and four difficulty tiers, with responses by ear, MIDI, or microphone. Four digital instruments send per-note bend, slide, and pressure across up to 15 member channels; hearing per-note bend requires an MPE host such as Live 11. A MIDI Bridge connects those instruments to a desktop DAW over the local network. Selected Play Along files can also be saved and reopened through Google Drive. The free plan offers 10 ear-training sessions per day and the first four lessons without an account. Premium costs 7.00 EUR per month and adds unlimited uploads and sessions, all MPE instruments, and Take Studio while subscribed.
