What are Falling Notes?
Falling Notes is an interactive viewing mode, which is especially helpful for beginners. Instead of regular sheet music, you see animated blocks that "fall down" onto the keys of a virtual keyboard. You play the key right at the moment the block touches it – and keep holding it down as long as the block stays visible.
Is this available for every piece?
Not quite – but for a whole lot! Falling Notes is available with around 2,000 of our interactive scores . And there you'll find pieces for every difficulty and from all kinds of music styles.
Why should I use Falling Notes?
Depending on your level, Falling Notes can help you out in lots of different ways:
If you’re just getting started with playing piano, Falling Notes helps you get used to reading music – right while you play.
Even for advanced players, this mode is exciting: for tricky parts, as a visual learning aid, or to experience a piece from a fresh perspective.
And most importantly: It's just fun! No matter if you’re an beginner or a pro – with Falling Notes, practicing almost feels like a game.

Is this feature also in the app?
Sure! In the app, Falling Notes works just the same—for all songs that are available as Interactive Scores.
