Fingerings

I am not one to usually write public reviews but for an app that is trying to teach people how to play an instrument something needs to be said. I play the double horn and have for a few years, the fingerings that are being displayed are wrong yet not only that, it counts alternate fingerings wrong as-well.

Fun!

I like how you can change the instrument, change the range, and do scales. I was doing the random notes on the tuba, Iโ€™m a tuba player myself so this app is really easy, I got a score of 899 in less than 2 minutes. Recommend if you like music or play brass.

Very helpful until now

This was a great app man this helped me with all my scales but now whenever i press notelook up it just turns grey?? I download the app on my computer and it does the same thing. Is this a bug or a setting please help because I enjoy using this app a lot.

Most of the way there!

Iโ€™m using it to learn to sight read Euphonium (but do have years on trumpet), and as of Sep 2024 itโ€™s most of the way there, but has a few critical (but probably easy to fix) issues that make it impossible to use.

The biggest is that the timing on finger presses is too narrow. If one finger is a couple milliseconds too late, itโ€™s counted as a miss.

The second problem is that any combination including the 4th valve is always considered a miss.

I feel like this app meets all the checkboxes on paper, but that it never got a round of testing by anyone that actually using it.
