Tournaments! Getting started…
Tournaments are a fun, motivational way you to help your students build note-naming speed with a little friendly competition.
How it works
- Select the notes you wish to include and save them as a preset drill
- Create users on your device for all participants
- Create the tournament and invite students to participate

What students see
- Each student is represented by a horse in the race.
- Student’s aren’t racing against each other at the same moment, but against each other’s fastest time.
- A horse’s position in the pack reflects that students’ fastest time compared to the others.

Timing and leaderboard
- You decide when the tournament starts and ends
- Students can race as many times as they want before it ends, always trying to beat their best time.
- The leaderboard rankings continually update so students can see where they stand.
Tournaments are a surefire way to boost practice motivation—and create confident, quick note-readers.
