Music Lesson Note vs CODA by LabAMI

‘Music Lesson Note-Pad’ is an application designed to help music students in their individual practice. The application provides students with opportunity to record lesson’s most significant tasks in a series of multimedia notes - audio, video, graphics, and textual. The distinct advantage of these notes is that they are displayed contextually within the music page right at the relevant music selections, as seen in the screenshots. As a result, a page of music turns into concrete visual plan for home practicing. Furthermore, the audio and video notes allow to save teacher’s verbal instructions and playing demonstrations in the most vivid authentic way. Such notes are literally and metaphorically – speaking. Listening to audio notes, or watching video notes, or reading the transcription of dictated text note is utterly simple – just a single tap on the note’s image. Such an immediate access to the notes' contents allows students, while working on particular task, to retrieve the relevant instructions right at the moment when the guidance is needed. That makes individual practicing more effective and engaging. Creating a note was designed to be simple and minimally interruptive to the lesson. It takes mere seconds - 2-3 intuitively comprehensible taps - to start recording an audio or a video note, or drawing a graphic, or dictating a text. ‘Notepad for Music Lesson’ is a feature-rich application. To help explore its functionality in evident and engaging way, the application comes with precompiled ready-to-use project that demonstrates variety of pre-made notes and – what’s even more important and helpful - also allows you to create your own ones: • Recording Audio and Video Notes. • Dictating Text Notes that are transcribed into text on-the-fly as you dictate. (Subject of availability of Speech recognition service in your area) • Drawing graphic notes in multiple drawing styles. • Creating textual remarks, and various kinds of symbols. • Editing/deleting/exporting the contents to computer. • Creating text and audio entries in the journal.

CODA by LabAMI is a tuner, a metronome, and a practice journal built for the hours nobody else sees. Tune against a live reference tone in your instrument's own register, not wherever the nearest sample happens to sit. Keep time with a metronome that holds steady whether you're running scales or working through phrases bar by bar. When something's worth keeping, one tap catches it. Every take lands in your Audio Diary: a running record of your practice, not just today's session, but all of them. Scroll back in a month and hear exactly how far you've progressed. Behind it all is a visualizer that moves with what you play, not against it. Seven themes, from a slow orbital drift to sparks off a plasma core, turn practice into something you want to sit with for an hour. Built for students working through a method book, teachers sharpening their skills or sharing with students, and professionals keeping their pitch in tune between gigs. Select your instrument and CODA auto sets transposition and tone, so a French horn player and a flutist both get a reference pitch that actually matches the key they're playing in. Bring it with you. Built for the music stand, in the studio or during a lesson. Prep an audition or your next live performance.
