Elements ME is a simple and effective way to learn and master music as a language. Through short sessions, similar to those of the most popular language-learning apps, Elements ME helps to connect the brain with any musical activity in a natural way, like a second language! Do you want to learn how to play a musical instrument? Do you want to write or create your own music? Are you interested in boosting your musical development?Do you want to appreciate music on a level that you never imagined? Are you interested in improving your skills for language, math, motor coordination, creativity, control, and even empathy? Elements ME is the tool that trains the brain while you learn the language of music, all of this with a fun and engaging interface! More than 1,400 exercises create a whole learning experience! **The Music Language** Music is our universal language, and the basis to be able to communicate in it lies in the understanding of this language. This is the point when a normal person’s brain becomes a musician’s brain. Regardless of your way of experiencing music, there are 4 main competencies that are always present at a cognitive level. Elements ME works with these 4 competencies to achieve an understanding, absorption, and mastering of the musical language. - Listening skills: ear training, understanding of pitch, and distance between notes. With Elements ME, your ear will be ready to appreciate and understanding music from the moment you hear it. - Music Theory: structural and mathematical processing. Elements ME gives your brain the agility to comprehend and manipulate the infinite myriad of options within musical structure. - Reading skills: the capacity to read notes on the staff is key to have a truly activated musical brain, but Elements ME goes even beyond. Our exercises help to train reaction times, improvising, speed, and precision. - Rhythm: the engine and heart of music. With Elements ME, you will be able to develop the rhythmic skills needed to communicate in music, as well as obtaining all the extra benefits of this training. Elements ME is the ideal tool: - It doesn’t matter if you are about to begin your path in music, if you are a veteran performer, or if you are looking to have fun while you work on your brain skills. Elements ME has the right level of challenge for you. - Proficiency: analyze your results and discover your strengths with the proficiency system, exclusive to Elements ME. - Defined progress: 8 Levels separate you from having a musically active brain. Every day you will be better! - Adaptable: Elements ME is compatible with any school, apps, or method that you are using to learn music. With or without a teacher, with Elements ME, learning is one step away! - It simply works: educational institutions have harvested the benefits of a musically activated brain in their students, in the music areas, as well as the rest of them. **Learn in order to perform vs Perform in order to learn** A brain that becomes musically activated first can later perform music on an instrument easier than a brain that first takes an instrument and tries to understand the language later. Elements ME is the window to an accelerated and excellent development. You can have a musician’s brain without the thousands of hours required to develop it! Music is our universal language.

Write down what you hear. Qwidict plays you a measure. You write it down. Then you see straight away what was right and what was not — not just a score, but your own staff in colour, with the solution underneath. NEVER THE SAME ONE TWICE Qwidict holds no list of ready-made exercises. The app composes each dictation the moment you press start: the rhythm as well as the melody. You set the boundaries — level, clef, key, time signature, and how often a measure may be replayed. Within them the supply never runs out. Don’t feel like choosing? Tap the dice and let the app decide. THREE KINDS OF DICTATION • Rhythmic and melodic: pitch and note value, the full exercise • Rhythmic: rhythm only, everything on one line • Melodic: pitches only, in even notes ONE MEASURE AT A TIME You hear a single measure and write it down with the do-re-mi buttons. Missed it? Play it again — you decide how often. A moving line shows where you are in the measure, so you both hear and see where every note falls. SEE EXACTLY WHAT WENT WRONG Green is right, red is wrong, and the solution appears underneath. One look tells you whether the pitch or the rhythm was off — which a score on its own never does. FOUR LEVELS 1. 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. Whole, half, quarter and eighth notes. C major. 2. Sixteenths, dotted quarter, eighth rest. The keys of G and F. 3. 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8. Triplets. The keys of D, A, B flat and E flat. 4. 5/8 and 7/8, irregular meters and harder sixteenth-note groupings. START FOR FREE Levels 1 and 2 are completely free: all three dictation types, unlimited practice, no ads. The full version unlocks levels 3 and 4, the bass clef, all keys, compound and irregular meters and triplets. One purchase, no subscription. NO FUSS No account, no sign-up, no internet connection needed. No advertising and no tracking. Everything stays on your own device. Qwidict runs on iPhone and iPad, in English, Dutch, French, Spanish and German.
