Why should you buy the Rhythm N Notes DS Game on Ebay?

A perfect combination of fun and education, Rhythm 'n Notes has something for gamers and musicians of all ages. A wide variety of note lessons encourages players to recognize and identify not only notes but also complex chords. Rhythm exercises teach and test the fundamentals of keeping time as well as advanced rhythmic patterns.

Starting lessons initiate the beginner from start to finish while advanced levels keep experts on top of their game.
Open practice mode allows players to familiarize themselves with all notes and chords, both by name and sound.
