Music Flash Class vs Note Rush

Music Flash Class is a highly customizable flash card application designed and used by a professional piano teacher. You can use it in individual lessons, home study, or in group classes with the built-in games or with games led by you. Because you know how you want to teach or how your students learn best, you can tailor the app to exactly what you want: • You define the notes on the grand staff that you want your student to drill. • You decide if the application should test or teach. • You decide how many cards to drill, how long to test, and how quickly students must answer. • You decide whether to drill in letter names, solfège, piano keyboard, and several other options. • You can review the incorrect notes and save them for student drilling. Music Flash Class is designed for use with all ages: • You can lock the device’s orientation to accommodate each student’s way of holding the device. • You can discourage accidental disruption of the games by 'locking' buttons that would normally exit the play. • You can use built in games or design challenges for your students. "I love the app....my students are competing against each other for time and decks completed without error!!!" - Penny L., professional piano teacher "This app has become a favorite backseat activity in my van. My kids love playing 'Hot Potato' with it." Jodi M., parent of two piano students Uses of Music Flash Class: • Effortlessly pull up and drill whatever deck of notes you want during your lessons. • Students who are waiting for their lesson can practice or test their note recognition skills. • Practice on your own, focusing on notes that have been difficult to learn. • Assign drilling exercises to those students who have access to an iPod Touch or iPhone. • Use in group classes for group drilling or games. • Design challenges that students can compete to attain.

What makes Note Rush Different? --------------------------- - Play On Your Instrument Note reading is best learnt in the context of how you identify and play each note - on your acoustic or MIDI instrument. - Designed for Teachers ...and not as a replacement for them! Create fully customizable note sets and easily send them home to students. - Fun Themes Engage with fun themes that don't get in the way of learning, or opt for traditional notation. Landmarks: The best way to learn your notes --------------------------- Note Rush fits with all teaching methods, whether you favor a purely intervallic approach or use traditional mnemonics! We promote learning key landmark notes then reading adjacent notes intervallically for the best results in learning to read piano notation. Note Rush features a unique landmarks-based hints system (optional) that highlights nearby landmark notes to read intervallically from. Over time students naturally move from reliance on landmarks to a more intrinsic staff-to-keyboard association.
