Notes! - Learn To Read Music

As an adult learning to play piano, I find this app useful during idle moments, such as while waiting. Its clear visuals make understanding and using the app simple. The fact that it functions in landscape as well as portrait mode is particularly gratifying; that allows me to hear each note as it would actually sound on a piano (e.g., striking the middle C produces a lower sound than striking the C an octave above), so there's valuable ear training going on at the same time. Learning from this app to recognize the individual notes on the treble and bass clefs is a huge aid for when I sit down at the piano to learn a new piece of music.

As a music teacher of 27 years, I’ve been using this app with dozens of my students and highly recommend it to all! The only tweak I can think of would be to add a couple of extra notes above and below the present range in both treble and bass clef. Alto clef would be great, too! Thank you for a very useful app!!!

My kids are both learning instruments so I purchased this app to help them memorize the notes. They are 11 and 9. The app works great in theory, but if they guess a wrong note it doesn't make a noise to alert the user it is wrong. So what I am finding is my kids will just push all the notes as fast as they can until they hit the right one. I fell for this for a while, but now realize they weren't learning anything because they knew that it didn't matter if they missed the note. I would love an update that would allow this because I have had to purchase other apps in its place so I can just listen as my kids practice.

I’m disappointed with this app bc of the changes that was made from the previous app. The other app had a limit to the times before there was a score%. This is never ending and I can’t use it at my school or my music studio bc the kids need a reward or a frowning face for their efforts. The previous app was so great bc I could do team playing as well as individual scores and the band director where my kids went from my school complimented me for the learning of the notes I taught so he didn’t have to. I don’t like this app for the above reasons.

This blue app is excellent for beginners. It has great explanations on how to use. It is easy to use. It allows for endless practice and doesn’t time out which is nice. Very effective! Since there is a sister app that is outlined in red - this blue one should be labeled “beginner” and the red one “advanced” to help us know which one to get.
