## What is Music Lesson Note?

‘Music Lesson Note-Pad’ is an application designed to help music students in their individual practice.
The application provides students with opportunity to record lesson’s most significant tasks in a series of multimedia notes - audio, video, graphics, and textual. 
The distinct advantage of these notes is that they are displayed contextually within the music page right at the relevant music selections, as seen in the screenshots. As a result, a page of music turns into concrete visual plan for home practicing.
Furthermore, the audio and video notes allow to save teacher’s verbal instructions and playing demonstrations in the most vivid authentic way. Such notes are literally and metaphorically – speaking. 
Listening to audio notes, or watching video notes, or reading the transcription of dictated text note is utterly simple – just a single tap on the note’s image.  
Such an immediate access to the notes' contents allows students, while working on particular task, to retrieve the relevant instructions right at the moment when the guidance is needed. That makes individual practicing more effective and engaging.
Creating a note was designed to be simple and minimally interruptive to the lesson. It takes mere seconds - 2-3 intuitively comprehensible taps - to start recording an audio or a video note, or drawing a graphic, or dictating a text.
‘Notepad for Music Lesson’ is a feature-rich application. To help explore its functionality in evident and engaging way, the application comes with precompiled ready-to-use project that demonstrates variety of pre-made notes and – what’s even more important and helpful - also allows you to create your own ones:
• Recording Audio and Video Notes.

### 2/5 — Needs to support Landscape Orientation

Deleted.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2013-07-24*

Fab app and works splendidly. It is a perfect addition to my lessons, especially since I've been using my Ipad as a functional music tool more and more.

Would love a log book that could be used for the whole lesson as opposed to a single piece, but thats quite minor. Otherwise awesome

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2013-07-17*

Nice idea for an app.  There are times during practice, I forget the subtle nuances of playing, so by watching the video recording it instantly comes back.  The app is a little bulky, but I look forward to future updates.

### 5/5 — LessonNoter is worth to look at

*2013-07-15*

After 30 min of browsing the app it seems quite packed with useful features; albeit at the moment it feels overly complicated.
Still, I find it to be an interesting addition to the pool of the apps designed for music students.
