## What is JTL Staff School?

Learning to read music doesn't have to mean memorizing. Staff School turns it into games you play a few minutes a day.

Whether your child just started piano, you play violin and want to read faster, or you're a guitarist ready to move past tabs, this app is for you.

FOUR PRACTICE GAMES
- Note Reading: see a note and match it to its solfege name, letter name or number. Start with colored notes, then move on to plain black and white.
- Sing: sing into your phone and the app tells you right away if you're on pitch. Single notes, two notes and chords.
- Rhythm: tap along with real drum sounds. Many rhythm patterns and four levels, from counted-out loud to counting in your head.
- Mixed: read the staff and sing a whole melody in time. Real sight-singing.

THREE LEVELS PLUS ARCADE
Every game has Easy, Normal and Challenge. Feeling good? Try Arcade mode and see how far you get.

LEARNING CENTER
Never seen a staff before? The Learning Center starts from "What is a staff?" and explains everything in plain words.

PRACTICE LOG
Every session is saved automatically, so you can see how much you practiced this week.

REAL PIANO SOUND
All notes are real Yamaha C5 grand piano samples (Salamander Grand Piano, CC-BY 3.0), not synthesized.

FOR TEACHERS (14-DAY FREE TRIAL, THEN SUBSCRIPTION)
Create your own Note Reading, Sing and Rhythm tasks and turn them into a QR code. Students scan it and take the task home. The subscription also removes ads. Students never need a subscription: scanning tasks and all practice games are free.
