Noted provides instant feedback for those trying to learn their notes. The notes are shown on the Grand Staff where users can use the built in keyboard mode or use their own instrument and the device's microphone. Each session is broken up in to 15, 30, or 60 second intervals to allow students, young and old, to stay attentive and interested. Noted provides the ability for students to quickly learn all their notes, including those with sharps and flats. In assisted mode, if an incorrect note is played, it is immediately shown on the staff so the student can compare the note they played to the actual note. This spacial awareness helps to engrain in the students mind how the notes relate to one another. This method is proven to work, even for those who have never had any introduction into music. Simply start, and the instant feedback will have you learning in no time at all.

At my local piano academy, my teacher drew a circle on the staff to help me read notes quickly and accurately. This app, “Chopinate!”, was inspired by that simple yet effective method. The name adds “-ate” to Chopin, and it means: “I’ll help you play Chopin.” Have any feedback? Send it anytime from the app, or leave a review on the App Store. Thanks for playing!
