Ratings and Reviews
Excellent learning and teaching app
This is a great way to learn how to sight read music notation. I’ve really increased in speed and learnt a lot. It’s also a great teaching aid that is really motivating. A great app and very good value for money. I highly recommend this for any musician. Particularly guitarist, like myself who spent many years missing many aspect of music theory and written notation. I wish this app existed years ago when I was learning to play. Don’t be chump. Use this app to learn notation and enter the exciting world of music theory, will really start to make a lot more sense and transform your playing and understanding.
3 months in, and Progressing Well
After 3 months I can comment now…..
I purchased this app as I wanted to read sheet music as I had started playing piano last year.
This is a very good app to learn to read sheet music notation, as well as the notes in each key signature.
It can be connected via Bluetooth to a piano midi, so you can read and play realtime, working on your speed of comprehension. This helps apply the knowledge directly.
I gave the app 4 stars, as I think the app could extend more into music theory, such as different scales, rudiments within the key signatures and also add chords (allowing to recognise chords and their inversions). The app uses random notes in the training which is very good to ensure you are reading, instead of predicting the notes, but for key signatures, ending the random note lessons with scales with linear notes would help with the flow of hand movements.
Eventually, on a future release, the app will allow to create custom lessons, which will be cool, so I could do this myself. However I don’t think I could for chords.
I will continue using the app to improve my skills as it is simple and easy to use. This app isn’t a waste of time (like many out there) and it is working for me!
Bluetooth not working
Every other app works with my Bluetooth but not this, otherwise I would buy it.
