Notes Teacher 4+

As a 60+ year old who has never previously studied music, I have found this app to be most effective in terms of improving my ability to recognise notes. It provides opportunity for revision to consolidate my knowledge and scaffolds me to mastery with the appropriate level of challenge. Precisely what I have needed. Great for my brain dendrites too! I will soon be able throw away the pencil and just recognise the note!

Very grateful to the creator! Would work equally well for young people I’m certain.

I’m a 50 year young woman learning to read music. This app is simple and is what I was looking for to test my knowledge of where notes are on the staff (for when I didn’t want to actually play my instrument). It allows me to hear the note as choose them. It also gradually introduces more notes as I get better at selecting the note that is shown on screen, which makes it game-like and fun.

Initially I thought it would be good to be able to switch off the timer for how quickly you have to choose the notes, but it actually gets you into the swing, or habit of making choices quickly so you can react, read and therefore play the notes quick enough for what sheet music would require.

So far, I think it suits my needs perfectly. Great job. And having no ads is fantastic!

I’ve searched for apps like this but they never got what I actually needed but this app has everything and more.

With this app I can now get better at sight reading which I’m not very good at when put on the spot but with the timer I’m getting better, which I really needed being a singer and all.

This app is the best and I’m really happy with the progress I’m making and setting goals helps me stay motivated not to mention it’s super fun and easy to use.
