Ratings and Reviews
It works! ... and quite quickly tooo
This is a great app. You can select the time you wish to play which clef you need to learn. And it if you get some notes wrong it-shows you the correct ones so you can’t start to remember. Then you can increase your time! It keeps your score history too. V good.
Fun game but confusing scales
It’s fun to play n does help with naming notes but is not to scale! Makes it confusing n possibly hinder learning the correct notes on keyboard as both a high and low note r applied to the same key in the game e.g. a high E and a low E are both supposed to be the same key on the onscreen keyboard! Obviously not correct on a real keyboard so may be confusing for learners who need to know not to press the same key for a high n a low note as you do in the game.
Developer Response ,
I agree, there is not really enough space for the whole range in portrait mode but I am considering extending the keyboard and adding this as a feature in landscape mode...
Does what it says on the tin
Excellent app. Was able to start learning right away. Very easy to set up. Can adjust exactly what you want to practice. Feels like it has been written by someone who understands what is really needed to learn to read sheet music. Really glad I stumbled on it!
