Just like our previous work “My Little Note”, “My Little Rhythm HD” is an iPad application for improving your basic musical skill. When studying how to read the musical score, people tend to focus only on “tunes “. But no musical note makes a piece of music without being played to right rhythms. “My Little Rhythm” surely is an amusing musical game, and playing it with repetition lets the player to read rhythms faster, and eventually the entire score easier. Unlike printed material, visual and acoustic perception help players to feel rhythms more intuitively.
