Free Piano Note Detective Case: The Missing Staff Badges

Three badges are missing from the music room, and each one shows a note. Name them, find their keys, and close the case.

Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

The cover: piano keys, a magnifying glass and a sleeping cat, with the title Piano Note Detective
The case briefing: three landmark notes on the treble and bass staff, and Middle C on the keyboard
Questions 1 to 4: badges with one note each, a clef choice and answer boxes

A complete free case for beginning piano students.

It teaches the three landmark notes many teachers start with.

What the free template includes

Read the clef first

The same line means a different note in a different clef. The questions practice that habit.

The full case book

The Missing Melody continues the story in seven cases, from the keyboard map to simple rhythm in 4/4.
