So helpful!

The app has clear instructions, is easy to use, and is mostly free. It’s helped me learn so much!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re really happy to hear Notaforte has helped you learn and make progress. Keep it up!

Exactly What I Wanted

This is exactly what I wanted when I was looking for an app to help read music. The progression is perfect for a beginner and helps build upon itself. Pretty deep in the lessons and havent seen a single ad. Huge help for me.

Response from developer

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the step-by-step progression, and yes Notaforte is completely ad-free and will stay that way ;)

Response from developer

Thanks for the 5 stars! We’re glad you’re enjoying Notaforte.

Great Design - Execution Needs Further Development.

I started my sight reading journey with Notaforte and was a great starter, but I quickly bumped up against the limitations of the program. Once I learned one octave I stopped progressing because the piano keyboard they provide is only 12 keys and it stunted my learning by playing, for example, all the “C” in several octaves on one key, not letting me develop keyboard awareness for WHICH “C” I was playing. Also, there is no option to plug in a Midi USB keyboard to get around this limitation. There is a pitch recognition feature, but it’s not program wide, so even sitting at a piano for all lessons won’t help. Since I use this on my iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard, the screen won’t rotate, so it use Notaforte, I have to hold my iPad on its side but must rotate the whole thing to switch between using the app and typing. It’s cumbersome. I’ve since switched to “Notevision” on my iPad Pro which has all of those features (most importantly a wider piano keyboard) and my learning where each note lives on the piano resumed. I would return to Notaforte once they include these features, as I love the interface and prefer it to the rest of the sight reading apps.

Excellente application pour apprendre et progresser

J’adore cette application car elle permet vraiment de progresser et de developper des automatismes dans la lecture de notes. La partie flash cards est ma préférée ! Merci aux développeurs !
