Just the music app I’ve been looking for!

A fantastic app to use as a teaching resource in my piano lessons, though fun games it really helps students understand the way notes move on the stave as the pitch moves higher and lower. Love the fact it works by listening to what they play on the piano in each game/level.

This is the best interactive product I’ve found which really engages young children and accelerates their understanding of the keyboard. The fact that the app is free to professionals is an added bonus.
