Perfect way to practice!

I was looking for an app that would help me learn how to read notes more quickly on sheet music and this app is perfect for it! In the free piano version, it starts you out with the middle C and treble D and each level adds a new note. The way it’s structured has helped me understand how the two staves can be read together. You can also set daily goals and reminders for yourself.

Thank you so much!

I’ve been struggling in band all year, and it’s just because of sheet music. I finally decided I was gonna try something to help. I found this app and gave it a shot. I loved the simplicity, and it’s not too overwhelming. I’ve only been using this app two days, but I’ve significantly improved. I would totally recommend Notes teacher to anyone, even non musicians. I’ve only seen two things so far that would make the experience better.
• a way to type in your note goals
• some songs! I know that is difficult, I totally understand. But maybe just some Christmas songs, or nursery rhymes? Like silent night or Mary had a little lamb? It doesn’t have to be anything fancy.
Anyways, these are a few things I think we would all like! Thanks for sticking with me! Bye!

Amazing, but...

I got this app a few days ago and I love it. The only thing I would change is that I wish it gave us more time to answer. They give us about 10 seconds which to some of you is a long time, but for a noob like me, it’s a bit to short. This is a great app and I would really recommend it for some of you who have trouble reading notes!

Simple but effective

I love the simplicity of this idea, and how effective it is in achieving results. This is an excellent app and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and improve their ability at read notes on the page.

Great app!

I was having trouble getting my daughter to read notes on the piano. She was very unmotivated and not making much progress for about 3 months.

We switched to the app and I saw an immediate improvement progress-wise and also her motivation to practice her notes. It's only been about two weeks and she already has learned most of her notes so overall I'm happy. It's also very economical.

The only things I would add is the introduction of 8th notes and 16th notes as well as having the app show proper fingering. Other than that it's perfect.

Great app!

I have just begun to use this app to learn the names of notes. I like the approach as it goes through adding a note at a time with audio feedback for the note sounds as well. The only thing I would suggest to add to the app is the ability to start slow when a note is first introduced and increase speed as the learner becomes more successful with the note that is added. One other thing I specifically do like too is how the addition of each note alternates between treble and clef allowing your learning to be more global not specific to the line. I am learning to play the harp and this is important to the harp player. Great app with a lot of evident positive development an thought into it.

Best for sight reading!

Honestly, if you are not a great sight reader, this is the app to get. And at only $1.99 for premium, it is a no brainer! It is highly customizable. You can lean the notes in lessons for either staff you choose and then practice those notes with a timer free mode so it goes on and on. You can customize what notes you want to practice so if you only want to focus on a few notes until you master them, you can do that. It even has a midi you can connect so you can play from your piano or just use the apps microphone if no midi. It is a truly wonderful and simple app!

Great app, thank you so much!

I have tried several different apps to learn music notes because I bought a violin and I’m determined to learn how to play it. The only problem is.... I can’t read music. I know, that’s a big problem. Most apps do color coordinated things are you learn more to rely on the colors than the actual letters or “notes.” With this app, it teaches one note at a time, gives a lesson, and let’s you repeat that quick lesson as many times as you need to until you feel comfortable moving to the next note. I’m in my 40’s so sometimes I have to repeat it a few times to get it to stick it my old brain, lol. But this is by far the fastest way I have found for me personally to learn fast and retain the knowledge. Also, I just wanted to say Thank you to whoever made this app because they obviously made it due to their love of music and wanting to help others. It is free and I have not had ANY ADS! That is amazing! I am absolutely IN LOVE with this app and will continue to use it until I learn everything I can possibly learn. There are not many people out there who will make apps just to help people, that are completely free & absolutely no ads. So to my hero, Thank You!!

Great, if...

I'm finding this reasonably useful but the littles tests are so fast I don't have time too think about or actually learn the notes. I've just started teaching myself piano and am struggling hugely with learning the bass clef notes. I'm not sure I'm any further forward at the moment!
Otherwise a very efficient way of going through notes and where they are on the keyboard

Great Tool for a Beginning Sight Reader

I’m currently learning to sight read with no formal training or lessons. I found that this application is not only very helpful at learning the notes on the various clefs, but also challenges you through game lessons to recall the notes your learning. You’re tested in a fun and enjoyable way. It’s easy to look up the notes online or in a book, however, unless you dedicate yourself to studying them, then it’s easy to not put in the time required to really learn them. The app starts off at the very beginning with just 2 notes. Once you’ve completed the lesson, you’ll unlock a new lesson that adds a new note. I’ve purchased the full version since I feel that this app can really help learn to sight read notes. The full version unlocks higher difficulties which can really test your skills.
