Music Lab
Train your ear on a piano · random tone sequences for pitch memory, or learn a famous public-domain melody three notes at a time
About PlayMemorize Music Lab
Music Lab is the merged music training surface · ear training and melody learning in one place. Pick a mode at the top, then build a streak under that round shape. The two modes share a virtual piano and the same audio engine; only the round shape changes.
Tones mode · pitch memory. A short sequence of musical notes plays. Click them back in order on the piano or treble-clef staff. The first wrong note ends the run; build the longest streak you can. Low difficulty is 3 white-key notes at slow tempo with labels printed on the keys. Expert is 10 notes across two chromatic octaves at fast tempo with no labels.
Songs mode · melody learning. Pick a famous public-domain melody (Twinkle Twinkle, Ode to Joy, Auld Lang Syne, …). The first three notes play; tap them back in order on the piano. On success the segment grows by one note (3 → 4 → 5 → …) until the whole melody is in your fingers.
Why merge? Both modes share the piano UI and the same audio scheduling primitives. Splitting them into two landing pages was taxonomical noise; the round shapes differ but the trained skill (matching pitches you hear to keys you tap) is the same. The mode picker keeps each shape clean while letting the player switch without leaving the page.

FAQ
-
How does Music Lab work?
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. -
What is the difference between Tones and Songs mode?
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. -
Do I need to read music?
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. -
Can I play without sound?
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. -
How does my progress save?
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.
