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!

Music Tutor Plus's advantage is ratings volume (247 vs 4) and device support (4 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
