Useful app for young and old musicians

My little 6-year old daughter was able to start learning the piano notes with this app because the first level only quizzes and tests you on 5 notes. (I love how you can cycle through the notes in the Study Mode and see the written notes, the note names, and the piano keys all changing simultaneously...that helped a lot!) She kept playing over and over until she could earn a black belt.Meanwhile my teenage daughter was able to get a lot better at the more advanced saxophone notes and fingerings (such as the palm key and low pinky key notes). The app is motivating and has a lot of valuable features. This new updated version even lets you make custom tests with whatever notes you want/need to practice the most. It's awesome, and totally worth $3!

Band teacher recommended for my 12-year old to learn proper fingering for flute, which it does well so far. My 7-year old doesn’t like the flash cards his piano teacher wants him to practice, so we added piano. He loves this game! It’s the exact same information, and he asks to play ningenius. Thank you! Well worth the cost!So, while I was at it I added guitar, (which I have been trying to learn for years.) I am slower than the kids; but learning too.

I am currently still learning things on my violin and this is an AWESOME way to be able to learn the new fingerings and be able to know what a flat and sharp are so I’m not messing up and I just overall love the app in the sense of letting me and others get better at knowing their notes and fingerings to get better at playing their instrument.

I’m a professional music educator and I use a lot of iPad apps to reinforce theory concepts I’m teaching the kids. There is a lot of promise to this app! I love that you can choose between reading notes on the keyboard, naming them, interpreting rhythms. Graphics are great. But, the downsides are that I can only input 3 students, and the app is not user friendly. I’m fairly computer and app savvy, and I’m having a hard time setting specific notes to test, and making some other tweaks as I’m using it.

Arianna2835,Thank you for your feedback. The Games 4 Kids edition of NinGenius Music is intended for personal/home use for a student. If you are looking to add more than 3 students, then the Studio Edition is probably the better one for you. It includes learning up to 3 instruments and unlimited student profiles. We would also be interested to hear more about the areas of the user interface that you would like to see improvement. Thank you again for your review.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. + NEW Rhythm learning mode! + The app now has a confirmation screen before playing a round to avoid students playing in under the wrong student profile. + Fixed a bug where the wrong student was deleted when deleting multiple students in a row.
