Level 1 asks the white keys of the octave above middle C, level 2 all its keys, level 3 the white keys of both octaves, level 4 all twenty-five, and level 5 changes the reference note at every question. The right key scores 10 points; from level 3, the right note in the wrong octave or a semitone off scores 5. Five levels of five questions and four lives.

Up or down: first hear if it climbs or falls from the reference.
Count the steps: hum from the reference up to the note, key by key.
Known intervals: a 5th, an octave: jump straight there, then adjust.
The octave: the same note sounds alike high or low: check which one.
Black keys: they come at level 2: listen for the in-between notes.
Level 5: the reference moves: always measure from the white dot.
