THE MOMENT IT CLICCKS

When your child plays a song they recognize and says,
"I can actually play this"

— that's when practice becomes self-driven. Notey is designed to get kids there. Then keep them going.

  • "I honestly didn't think he'd stick with it. Three weeks in he was playing songs I actually recognized. Now I have to remind him to put the guitar down."

    —Ben, dad of 8-year-old

  • "Our boys love learning and practicing music while playing a video game. It merges music, movement, and play in a simple, inspiring environment that works for all ages."

    —Paola and Roberto, parents

  • "The most gratifying thing is watching him play a full song, and then perform it without the app."

  • “It is a must have for beginning guitar students”

    Finally an intelligent guitar app! This is what I was wishing for when Guitar Hero was all the rage.  No one learns to play the guitar on a plastic, guitar-shaped controller.  This app uses a real guitar and what a motivator!  This makes practicing and learning fun! It is a “must have” for beginning guitar students!

    - Bill Swick, award winning guitar educator

  • “A great way to accelerate learning”

    Using tools already well understood by young children to foster greater understanding of the language of music, coupled with using a musical instrument to play a game is a great way to accelerate learning. Bravo to Team Notey for their work to strengthen music education through the use of handheld computing.

    - Ravi Rajan, president of CalArts

  • “Practice music while playing a video game”

    Our two boys love the idea that they are able to learn and practice music while playing a video game. They are excited about Notey being their new companion! As parents, we really like how the game merges music, movement, colors and space in a very simple and inspiring environment that can be suitable for young and older children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need?

An iPhone, iPad, or Android device and any acoustic, electric, or classical guitar.

Is this for beginners?

Yes. Notey is designed for beginner and early-stage learners and increases in difficulty as skills improve.

Will my child outgrow it?

Songs and challenges become more complex over time. The focus is long-term musical development — not just completing levels.

How is this different from YouTube?

YouTube can't hear your child play. Notey listens in real time, gives instant feedback, and guides them through a structured path — so they actually progress instead of getting stuck.

What happens after the free trial?

You'll be asked to subscribe at $59.99/year. No charge until the trial ends — cancel anytime before.
