Well designed app

This has been the most helpful app so far for learning to read music.

Best way to practice and learn without an instrument

I was trying to look for a way to practice learning notes on a staff and this is the perfect way to do it. It has helped a lot when I sit to practice the piano and I am note spending so much time just trying to figure out what note it is. I think it would be better if you can somehow play the notes as they would appear on your instrument. So if your intent is to learn it for the piano than display an octave so that I can visually see what key corresponds to what note I am playing. This way I am learning the staff and keys at the same time. Either way I use this app everyday whenever I have a moment and I can practice.

Excellent concept.

Uses a format similar to angry birds and cut the rope in that it has multiple levels and each level reward you with a clearance of one two or three stars. You can go back and replay each level to try and better your score. It has difficulty levels ranging from very easy to very hard. It allows you to select trouble clef or bass clef or both. And many other features. My favorite feature is that it allows you to use the microphone on your device to play the notes on your piano or just about any other instrument that as well tuned. The accuracy when playing a live instrument through the microphone is pretty darn good. If you play too fast, it won’t recognize occasionally and makes an error, which kind of stinks because one aspect is that the challenge level is timed. So you are encouraged to go as fast as you can, but the app can only allow you to go so fast. Would be great if they could continue to fine-tune the accuracy for speed

One of the best $1.99 purchases I’ve ever made!

I haven’t been playing my keyboard for a while and have been looking to get back into it. This app pretty much just inspired me to get back to practicing my everyday and that’s easy with its daily reminders. Just after playing the free for 15 minutes I couldn’t help but buy the full version even though the free one had a LOT of lessons. For anyone looking to learn piano notes, this is the app for you! One thing I do wish it had was a streak counter to keep you even more motivated everyday like the language learning app Duolingo does. Other than that, 5 stars!

Fast and easy

I’ve played with a few apps to teach you how to read music and this is by far the best free app you can find. It’s simple, fast, corrects you, and has sound. Very self explanatory most the apps I’ve played were made with the expectation that you have some knowledge of notes and bars, this one is perfect for some one just trying to learn with no knowledge of music notes.

Awesome, effective, and simple!

Need I say more? What’s best is that you don’t have to pay or have an internet connection at all times. Been trying to learn for years and this makes it easy and fun (start on the grand staff!). The app is real clean looking and very easy to navigate.. the fun is in the fact that you are timed to effectively train your ability to recognize what you’re learning and creates a fun sense of urgency not present in other apps. Just a well created app from start to finish for any musician looking to download music apps to their phone.. definitely made it to my first page of apps along with Shazam and voice memos and co.

Subconscious learning

Thank you! I have been waiting for something like this for ages. I have only just opened the app (1 hour into it) and just know it’ll teach me all the notes without me realising that I’m being taught.
🙏👏👍👌

Very simple, very effective

I have used a few music reading apps over the years and this is the one I keep coming back to. It is simple but effective. My younger daughter is not keen as she wants it to be a bit more gamey, the older 8yr old likes it and finds it useful.

Great for quick results.

The best way to teach yourself piano notes

I’m currently teaching myself to play the piano. I have no musical past. I was convinced I could never read sheet music. I highly recoment the full version of this app. With the lessons and a bit of practice both on the app and with my intrument I’ve been blown away with the progress I’ve made. It’s only been about two weeks and I can easily decipher most of the notes on the trebble cleff!! Though it’s not going to teach you pacing (at least it hasnt for me at lesson 15) and you’ll need to study up a bit on that online if you’re in the “teaching yourself an instrument” boat like i am. The one and only “issue” (if you can call it even that) I’ve had is that there is no in-app way to apply the skills I’ve learned. I’d love to have a simple tune infront of me and, just like in practice mode, play it and it correct me if I get it wrong. So basically if it’s possible- an option to play a tune and apply what i’ve learned would be amazing! This app is 100% worth the money- it’s just unbelievable how affordable it is for how much you can get out of it!! I saw a lot of improvement in myself with practicing a bit every day! having an app like this makes it so easy to practice a bit on the bus ride home or whenever i find myself bored with social media. to add to that, an option to play music would make the app much much more fun! its almost like a game!
