"Meh"

Does not track well - background music is irrelevant to what is on screen as far as key signature or even steady beat.
Discouraging for anyone, even this music teacher!
I don't reccomend for anyone serious about improving their music skills. Nice toy though.

So much potential - just not quite there yet

I LOVE the idea of this app, i'm a guitar teacher and really have struggled to make sight reading fun fo my students and this is app has the potentially to be game changing.

sadly the app is a bit laggy which makes rhythm tracking very poor notes wise it isnt too bad.

I've looked through similar apps to this I.e Skoove and simply piano but they only really support piano reading not other instrumtents such as guitar, flute voilin etc etc and this app could really fill that gap in the market. (AND I WOULD LOVE IT TOO)

If the app would be more sturdy i would happily pay the same subscription price as simply pianos $120 a year fee!

some things i would like to see are;

some well known pieces (could start with some pieces that are in the public domain?) I would happily be prepared to buy these similar to an itunes download.

Books tackling multiple notes at the same time

Better rhythm tracking

Songs

There should be more modern songs in this app to make people want to play this app.

Frustrating

I am a professional musician and I canโ€™t get more than 50% on rhythm when singing, even on the easiest setting. There must be something wrong with the calibration.
I wouldnโ€™t share this with my students because it would be frustrating for them to play or sing something perfectly but get bad feedback.
Great interface and accompaniments though, and I love the inclusion of a lesson at the top of each book.

A great rhythm method!

Iโ€™m a trombonist and use this app with my students. I like to assign it as a lesson supplement for them to use during the week to help with reading and the results have been great. Nightly recommend
