### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2025-07-16*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Great flash cards for non piano majors

*2022-08-02*

Simple, clean design. Very easy to navigate.

### 5/5 — simple, effective flash card app

*2016-10-16*

downloaded this app to help make the transition between treble clef and bass clef when picking up a new instrument... then continued to expand the app to include tenor clef. This app is simple, easy to use and very effective for learning the different staffs. The ability to quiz on multiple staffs is very helpful, especially to those of us who have to switch between staffs un our music.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2013-09-17*

It's simple, it's straightforward, it's addicting. Maybe I'm just a music nerd, but this program makes me want to open it up and do some exercises whenever I turn on my iPad.

### 4/5 — almost perfect

*2012-11-12*

A terrific app for learning various notes on different scales. Updates suggested - add 'sharp' and 'flat' notes,  more control over which notes to practice. Tracking mistakes by note, etc.

### 5/5 — Great for learning a new clef!

*2012-11-03*

This app is fairly simple, but does its job very well. It presents you with one note at a time, and you have to identify the associated pitch. The ability to either choose one clef (from treble, alto, tenor, or bass) or mix and match them makes for very flexible practice. This app works well whether the user is learning to read music for the first time, adding a clef to their repertoire, or brushing up on extremes of a familiar clef. Highly recommended.
