This is a poor quiz that makes numerous assumptions that are not hard truths.

For example, one question shows a treble clef and asks "this symbol indicates the ___ hand has to play the given music". The quiz states that "Right" is the correct answer. However, this is simply not correct. There is nothing stopping a person playing music on the treble clef with their left hand. Furthermore, some piano music is written with two treble clefs, meaning at least one of them HAS to be played with the left hand.

The quiz mixes up note value naming conventions throughout. For example, questions refer to "whole notes" and "half notes", but NEVER refer to quarter notes, instead referring to them as "crotchets". One naming convention should be chosen and applied consistently throughout the quiz.

There are two questions that show notated repeat marks and asks what they are. There is no need to repeat this question.

One questions asks "what is the name of the instrument, similar to the piano, they used to play before the piano was invented". The quiz gives the correct answer as "harpsichord", however, "organ" and "archicembalo" are also options and both are also correct answers. This question should be removed.

One question asks "the first note you will learn on the piano is..." This is a ridiculous question because anyone can learn any note on the piano first. Generally, Middle C is taught first in music education, but it is not wrong and not inconceivable for someone to learn a different note first. Additionally, the question is phrased in future tense which does not make sense, as it asks the user to predict the future.
