About Fruity Beats

Fruity Beats is a free rhythm reading game for music students, teachers and anyone learning to read rhythm. It uses the fruit method: say the fruit, tap the rhythm. A grape is a quarter note, le-mon is two eighth notes and wa-ter-me-lon is four sixteenth notes.

Pick a time signature (4/4, 3/4 or 12/8), switch on the rhythm sets you want, from easy fruit cards to syncopation, dance grooves and famous tunes, then read four bars, listen to the count-in and tap along. Every tap is scored Perfect, Good or Miss. Practice mode loops the bars you find hard, and a share link sends a friend the same rhythm to beat your score. It runs in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.
