LED with Music Notes

kculm:
...
Also when it plays, it looks like it just lighing the lights in order pin 2-9. I looks ok. but what I was going for was a not assigned to an LED
...

Yes, the "turn on" and "turn off" statements were in the wrong place (and looking at the wrong data). Notice in the below that I moved them to the playNote() function:

int speakerPin = 11;

char notes[] = "ccggaagffeeddcggffeedggffeedccggaagffeeddc "; // a space represents a rest
int length = sizeof(notes)/sizeof(notes[0]); // the number of notes
int beats[] = { 1,1,1,1,1,1,2, 1,1,1,1,1,1,2, 1,1,1,1,1,1,2, 1,1,1,1,1,1,2, 1,1,1,1,1,1,2, 1,1,1,1,1,1,2,4,};
int tempo = 1000;  // make this smaller to speed the whole thing up, bigger to slow down
int ledPins[] = { 2,3,4,5, 6,7,8,9};

void playTone(int tone, int duration) {
  for (long i = 0; i < duration * 1000L; i += tone * 2) {
    digitalWrite(speakerPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(tone);
    digitalWrite(speakerPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(tone);
  }
}

void playNote(char note, int duration) {
  char names[] = { 'c','d','e','f', 'g','a','b','C'   };
  int tones[] = { 1915,1700,1519,1432, 1275,1136,1014,956   };

  // play the tone corresponding to the note name
  for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    if (names[i] == note) {
      Serial.println( String(" Note: ") + names[i] + " dur: " + duration + " ledPin: " + ledPins[i]);
      digitalWrite(ledPins[i], HIGH);     // turn on the right LED                 <<********************************
      playTone(tones[i], duration);       // play the note
      digitalWrite(ledPins[i], LOW);      // turn off the LED
    }
  }
}

void setup() {
  pinMode(speakerPin, OUTPUT);
  for (int i=0;i<8; i++)
      pinMode(ledPins[i],OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}


void loop() {
  Serial.println("Start");
  for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    if (notes[i] == ' ') {
      delay(beats[i] * tempo); // rest
    } 
    else {
      playNote(notes[i], beats[i] * tempo);
      delay (100);  // make this smaller (or even delete the line) to have less time between the notes, bigger for more
    }
  }  
}
