Interval Climb

Race up the rope in this 2-player game to identify intervals on the staff.

Game Summary

This 2-player game is a fun alternative to flashcards for learning interval degrees on the musical staff.

Grab a friend and race to see whose character climbs to the top of the rope faster. Each interval you get correct moves you up the rope, while wrong answers make you slide down.  

Customize the settings to focus on the interval degrees and type you are interested in:  
- Play with your choice of intervals, unison through octave. Select only the intervals you want to play with.  
- Choose if you want to play with only harmonic, only melodic, or both harmonic and melodic intervals.  
- Option to include/exclude ledger lines  
- Select English or Italian ordinal number abbreviations.  

Two ways to play! Select the bottom-left button to switch between grand staff and single staff games.
> For the grand staff, each player has his/her own staff - see who can identify the most intervals on their staff the fastest.
> For the single staff, players race to be the first to select the correct degree for each interval shown. The single staff game also includes audio, so you can hear the intervals.  

Between games,
- Select an interval degree to see the interval on the staff.  
- Tap the clef mark to switch between treble and bass clefs.
- Tap the eye to show/hide the clef marks.  
- Change the theme to see the characters throw different objects. New seasonal themes become available every 3-5 weeks, in addition to ongoing themes of sports, music and chess.

Requires a touch screen computer or tablet and a high-speed internet connection.

Seeing the intervals with a variety of note types (as opposed to a fixed set of flashcards) has helped my students recognize intervals better in their sheet music.
