## What is Notorio?

Notorio 2 is an interactive music learning app designed to be equally useful for music students, teachers, and self-directed learners. Its magic begins with an innovative Auto-Listen mode, which displays sheet music and listens to any live acoustic or digital instrument through your device's microphone, only advancing when the correct notes are played. 

Nothing else teaches you how to instinctively read and play notes so elegantly, but what makes Notorio 2 a total game-changer is that you can now instantly download or create custom lessons and exercises for absolutely any kind of music learning you can imagine.

Through our new Advanced Lessons section, Notorio becomes a dynamic, personalized curriculum builder. You can browse our curated library of downloads, or simply type out a text prompt of exactly what you want to learn. 

Whether a teacher wants a targeted sight-reading drill to assign to a trumpet learner, an advanced violin student needs a rigorous scale workout for an upcoming competition, or a total beginner wants a fun, approachable explainer of how chords and scales work, just ask for it. Our deep learning back end instantly generates a tailored, multi-step lesson complete with custom text explanations and the exact notes and chords you need to play.

Notorio is completely instrument-agnostic and adapts entirely to how you want to practice. You can easily select profiles for piano, guitar, violin, flute, and more, or manually set the exact note range you want to focus your practice on. 

When you're ready to play, you can use the Auto-Listen mode for real-time accuracy tracking, switch to a flashcard-style Timer mode to push your processing speed, or use manual advance to take your time. Also included is an elegant built-in metronome loaded with style-specific patterns like jazz drums and electronic house beats.

Notorio 2 keeps the human connection at its core, empowering music teachers rather than trying to replace them. Teachers can custom-generate targeted weekly homework lessons, share them with their students via a simple link, then review detailed progress graphs to track their accuracy and response times over the week.

From your very first scale to advanced jazz improvisation, Notorio 2 gives you an infinitely flexible environment to elevate your musical journey. Download Notorio 2 today, and learn music your way.

### 3/5 — Kind of money hungry

*2026-02-26*

I was trying to learn how to sight read more efficiently on violin, that’s when I came across this app. This app is really good and I like how when you sight read the app listens to your playing to see if you got the note correct or not and the app itself has a lot of potential, but the reason why I’m putting at 3 stars instead of 5 is because of the fact that you can only play 50 notes a day, and the only way you can play more is by paying the app. I don’t mind the idea of this app having a feature where you can pay for more notes a day but I find it really frustrating that it’s only 50. It could’ve been at least 100 in my opinion. I also don’t like how the app include bass clef for violin.

### 3/5 — Please reach out

*2026-01-09*

Hello, I already purchased premium a couple weeks ago, but all of a sudden in my app isn't giving me premium features. I'm not sure what's up with this. Please help.
