The worlds first mobile app specifically designed to make playing scales amazingly fun and exciting! Come on, let's be real. Sitting down with your instrument and turning on a metronome (click..click...click...) at 60 bpm to repetitively play the same scale over and over again although effective, is not the most exhilarating experience that you're just longing to get back to every day. We understand that, and that's why we created Scale Junkie! With Scale Junkie, you can have a fun immersive experience while playing your scales to music specifically created to keep you engaged, and interested the whole entire time! You're not just practicing to a metronome any more, you now have a full band playing along with you! The scales you play are now a melody to a song, and the Scale Junkie band accompanies you, making it a fun and enjoyable experience!
