🎧 Grades 4–8 · Audiation & Transcription

RiffQuest

Hear a riff, play it back on your voice or your instrument, then write down its shape. RiffQuest grades the tune, not the key — so it works in whatever key feels right for you. Climb from contour to pitches to rhythm, and grow the music in your head.

Meet the cast

  • Aud — plays a riff and asks you to hear it inside your head first
  • Echo — listens as you play it back — in any key that feels right
  • Quill — helps you write down the shape: up, down, or the same
  • Ladder — the climb: contour → pitches → rhythm

🔒 RiffQuest listens right here on your device. Your playing is analysed here and never recorded or sent anywhere; only which riffs you can play back are remembered, on this device.
