Cello Note Quiz
Cello Note Quiz is an educational web application designed to help cello students learn and practice note reading. Built collaboratively with my son, this project demonstrates practical application development using modern web technologies.
The app features:
- Interactive Note Recognition: Practice identifying notes on the cello fingerboard
- Visual Learning: Clear visual representation of the cello and note positions
- Progressive Difficulty: Adaptive learning system to match student progress
- Real-time Feedback: Immediate feedback on correct and incorrect answers
Built on Loveable's platform, this project showcases rapid prototyping and collaborative development, making it accessible for students of all ages to improve their musical literacy.

Business Case
Music education apps provide students with accessible, interactive tools for practicing skills outside of lessons. Traditional note-reading practice often requires physical flashcards or printed materials, which can be cumbersome and less engaging for younger students.
Cello Note Quiz addresses this gap by providing a digital, interactive platform that makes note-reading practice fun and accessible. The app helps students build musical literacy skills through repetitive practice and immediate feedback, complementing traditional music instruction.
