AMAZING APP FOR MUSIC TEACHERS!
It is a great tool for those students who struggle to pay attention and stay engaged! Plus they have some special features for teachers! Thank you Thank you for whoever made this app!!!
This game is either a virus or a really buggy game.
It didn’t work at all . I typed in my name and got to the stone thing and it froze and I couldn’t do anything at all. I restarted the game and it still didn’t work at all. All I could see was this weird blueish grayish. I tried to delete the game cause there was no use of the game if it didn’t work, but it didn’t delete, when I pressed delete game it did not delete. I started freaking out. I restarted my console and it let me delete it. Idk if it was just my console, but it wouldn’t let me play this game at all or this game is a virus or is a really buggy game.
Piano Prof Approves 👌
The concepts are great, the artwork is calm and beautiful, and it absolutely helps any student who struggles with sight-reading, both young and old. My only criticism is the monthly subscription model doesn’t seem appropriate. It is a linear game, and, like most games on the app store, needs to be a one time purchase. High recommend!
