Fantastic App

I am absolutely blown away by how effective this has been. I went back to 1st principles getting tempo and correct notes. I have spent many hours going through this rather addictive process. Suddenly this morning it all clicked and all the hesitation had gone from my fingers.

I can really now see the light at the end of the tunnel for sight reading. I am really enjoying playing this way, and the constant barrage of new pieces, without the frustration of looking for them means I just keep going.

I canโ€™t tell you how happy I am to have finally started to unlock what has been a closed book to me for many years.

Eh

Itโ€™s not THAT bad but honestly the auto assessment grading is really badโ€ฆ I got very high scores for getting many notes wrong, and very low scores for getting everything right. On D major, it does not understand that the c string of my cello canโ€™t do a C sharp. Do not recommend! Just practice with your teacher. Itโ€™s just better that way :(.

Broken app

I stopped hearing the audio which is very frustrating.

Good for practicing, not for beginners

I wanted to download the app to learn to sight read as an absolute beginner, and it just didnโ€™t offer that. Iโ€™m sure it is a very helpful tool for more advanced musicians, not recommended for beginners though.
