Explore musical notes with a bear, bunny, and cat!
Sound Cards is a music app designed to help toddlers and elementary school kids get familiar with musical notes and sounds. Featuring large buttons and gentle colors, children can enjoy learning at their own pace.
■ Four Basic Modes (Free)
Note Cards: Press the note buttons (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) to check the notes on the staff and hear their sounds.
Sound Cards: Tap a card to see the note’s name and hear its sound. You can also choose which notes to learn and the order of the cards.
Play Piano: Freely play a 2-octave keyboard featuring both white and black keys. You can save one free-play recording up to 30 seconds long.
Note Quiz: Look at the sheet music or listen to a sound, then choose the correct note. You can adjust the number of questions and multiple-choice options.
■ New "Songs" Mode for Piano
You can listen to a sample of "Frog Song" for free! Enjoy the flow of the melody while following the sheet music and light-up keyboard.
(Note: Practicing along with the light-up keyboard and recording songs are Premium features.)
■ More Musical Fun with Premium
Practice songs while following the sheet music and light-up keyboard. Choose your preferred speed: "Step by step," "Slow," or "Normal."
Unlock all included songs, featuring nursery rhymes, folk songs, and classical music.
Record and play back your performances. Song recordings are saved separately from your free-play recordings.
Create, edit, and practice your very own original songs.
Choose from different instrument sounds.
Save up to 3 free-play recordings, each up to 3 minutes long.
Features songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz," and "Ode to Joy." (Songs include the melody only; lyrics are not displayed or played.)
■ How to Use Premium
You can choose a one-time purchase to unlock Premium features permanently, or a 30-day ticket. Purchases must be made by a parent or guardian.
The 30-day ticket does not auto-renew. Each purchase adds 30 days to your pass. Tickets can only be used on the purchasing device and cannot be restored or transferred to other devices. Even after your ticket expires, your created songs and recordings will not be deleted.
■ Tailored for Your Child
We offer settings to adjust text and button sizes, note name read-aloud speed, and an option to reduce screen animations. You can also turn the animal characters on or off.
Whether they are learning their very first musical notes or just playing freely with sounds, we hope you and your child enjoy Sound Cards together!
