I'm wearing headphones

🎧 Headphones work best. Without them the game filters its own clicks out of the mic, and setting the metronome to Count-in only helps even more. A quiet spot works best.

Practice specific rhythmsOn

Every rhythm the difficulty uses starts ticked. Slide up for harder rhythms, or tick and untick them one by one. Quarter notes fill any gaps. The notes, clef and key signatures still come from the difficulty above. This is practice, so it doesn't post to the leaderboard.

Put on headphones

With headphones, the microphone hears only your instrument, not the metronome or the game's sounds, so every note is easier to hear.

Tap along to the clicks

Listen to the first 4 clicks, then tap along with the next 12, right on each click. Use the space bar, the pad below or any key on your MIDI keyboard. This measures the delay in your speakers and keyboard so the game's timing is fair.
