It is an interactive take to help learn reading music on Android. Music Tutor proves to be more effective by displaying the notations. The app also lets you tweak the difficulty level considering your musical knowledge prior to using the app.
#2. NoteTeacher
Similar to what “Music Tutor” app offers, but without in-app advertisements. NoteTeacher not just lets you learn how to read music on Android but also provides you a guitar tuner.
You can either learn to read music, and try playing the game to play the right tune according to the displayed notation, or you can have fun with the guitar tuner and learn using it virtually.
#3. Music Reading Trainer

As you play along, you will eventually learn to read the musical notes and do it right. It lets you one of the available clef (Treble, Bass & Grand Staff).
However, in order to get access to the series of 8 notes (octave viewer), you would need to upgrade it to the premium version. It would cost around a dollar (USD) to get rid of the advertisement, access piano octave viewer and the privilege to access future premium features.
#4. MuseScore
It is one of the simplest but a nice one to have installed on your device. MuseScore does not directly help you learn how to read music, but it is more like a practice along with learning to read music eventually.
Unfortunately, the app does not let you add music scores but it does offer a free music notation and composition software for desktop platforms (Windows, Mac OS X & Linux). After going through a lot of music score on the app, you would get a hang to it and would be able to identify the musical notations.

If you are confident enough that you can identify the musical notes, you can take lessons and quizzes offered in the app to sharpen your skills.

You can choose the octave notation system as well (American or European). If you are looking for British note values, you can enable accessing them from the app settings.
#7. Learning Notes
