Very Fun

In orchestra class we were seeing who could get the highest score in this game and it instantly captivated me so I bought it at home.

Good for improving

This app is a nice way to help to improving note reading and learn by having the show answer button switched on.

An update would be nice to have larger ranges to cover full Cello 4 octaves range from low C in bass cleff to highest C in tenor cleff

Essential for piano teachers

I’ve loved this app for years - works so well with motivating kids to work on their note reading. Love being able to customise the range.
