HOW IT WORKS
The app shows you a note. As soon as you play it correctly, the next one appears. You have 60 seconds—the number of correctly played notes is your score.
Stay motivated: There’s no penalty for wrong notes—but only lots of correct notes within 60 seconds will get you a high score.
So you train fast note recognition and automate the connection between notation and fingering. Can you reach 3 stars?
• Play with your real instrument
• 4 preset difficulty levels
• Create your own exercises and share them with friends

OCTAVE DESIGNATIONS TO SUIT YOUR PREFERENCES
Choose in the settings how octaves are indicated in note names:
• Default: Keeps the existing display for each instrument and each area of the app.
• As written: The octave designation follows the written note.
• Sounding: The octave designation takes your instrument’s octave transposition into account.
“As written” and “Sounding” override the default display throughout the app. Only the octave designation changes, not the note name or accidental.

This update gives you more choice over octave designations and improves gameplay in landscape orientation.
New and improved:
• Octave designations: Choose between “Default”, “As written”, and “Sounding” in the settings.
• Naming notes on iPhone in landscape: The note is now on the left and the four possible answers on the right. This keeps everything clear, even with the grand staff.
Bug fixes:
• Exercises using both clefs can now also be played in landscape on iPhone with the grand staff enabled.
