Music Reading Essentials vs Sensation Drill

"Poco-a-Poco: Music Reading Essentials" helps learning and practicing sheet music reading, understanding musical signs and symbols, note names, rhythms, intervals and more. Designed with the help of professional piano teachers, this fundamental tool is for those who are learning to play piano or other musical instruments, as well as for anybody who needs practicing sheet music reading. The application has four sets of flash cards divided into stages with increasing knowledge level. By choosing either one or a combination of any of the four sets, you can start testing yourself and study at the same time. The specially designed shuffling algorithm will start showing more often those cards, which were not answered correctly. Choose Notes from either Treble clef, Bass clef, Alto clef or the combination of Treble and Bass clefs ("Grand" mode). Use "Timer" to test your knowledge. The "Results" screen will show your progress as well what you need to continue working on. With the "Cards Info" screen you can see how the cards are arranged by sets and stages.

Train your sight reading and trumpet playing skills by playing unexpected intervals. As proposed by Clint 'Pops' McLaughlin the Sensation Drill app generates random scores with intervals you can't remember from well-known melodies. Playing this music-scores with focus on intonation and proper attacks will improve your inner ear and your embouchure. By tapping on the display the app will generate a completely new score. Scores can be zoomed be intuitive pinch gestures which trigger a complete re-formatting of the score. This app uses the GUIDOLib for rendering high quality music scores in real-time.
