Question 1

How does Music Lab work?

Accepted Answer

Pick a mode at the top of the page · Tones for random-sequence ear training, or Songs for famous-melody learning. Press Listen to hear the round, then click the notes back on the piano. The first wrong note ends the run.

Question 2

What is the difference between Tones and Songs mode?

Accepted Answer

Tones plays a short random sequence of musical notes (3 to 10) and asks you to play them back in order · pure pitch memory. Songs picks a famous public-domain melody and grows the segment by one note per successful round, training the whole tune three notes at a time.

Question 3

Do I need to read music?

Accepted Answer

No. Both modes show note names by default at low difficulty. The piano keys are labelled; the staff variant in Tones mode teaches you to read by pairing the notehead position with the letter. Labels disappear at high difficulty so you build pitch recall, not reading skill.

Question 4

Can I play without sound?

Accepted Answer

You can, but the game leans on hearing the sequence · without sound it degrades to reading the note names off the explainer. Turn sound on for the real experience.

Question 5

How does my progress save?

Accepted Answer

Your high streak is stored locally in your browser. Tones mode and Songs mode each track their own best streak, so switching between them keeps both records intact.
