BeatBlocks Studio vs Noteology

BeatBlocks Studio is a fun music-making app that lets you build your own beats using Lego bricks and other real-life construction blocks. Instantly rewarding, with just a handful of bricks you can create drum loops, melodies and bass-lines straight away: no prior music making experience necessary! BeatBlocks Studio lets you make music in real-time, responding to your placement of real-world Lego bricks. It brings digital creativity out of the screen and onto your desktop, letting you get hands-on with music making. And we mean that literally. 

 How does it work? BeatBlocks Studio uses the camera on your iPhone or iPad to detect blocks of different type and colour. To make music, simply lay out different patterns of blocks in front of the camera. The app detects where your bricks are, then in left to right order plays a repeating loop, with a different type of sound for each colour of brick it sees. When the app sees a brick, it plays a sound: so as you build, you make music. 
 To change your loop, just move or scatter the blocks around, try out different colours, and wait for the loop to come around again. The left-to-right position sets the timing of each musical note, the top to bottom position selects which note/pitch to play, and the colour sets the instrument. You can also adjust the tempo, swing, key and scale for your loops.

 BeatBlocks Studio is a fully-loaded upgrade of our standard BeatBlocks app, with all sound packs and pro features unlocked and ready to go. To extend the creative possibilities even further, BeatBlocks Studio features multi-channel MIDI output to let you send your drum, bass and lead parts to different instruments in Logic or GarageBand (or any other MIDI enabled music apps out there...) for live performance or for recording. Ableton Link support means you can synchronise your beats, tempo and playback transport with other Link enabled apps. Don't forget to share your beats! When you are ready to show-off your compositions to the world, hit the record button to screen grab a video of your performance. When you are finished, simply choose to share or save.

"I wouldn't have believed it except that I watched it happen" Rebecca Stewart - Teacher, speaker and author (www.sightreading.com.au/) "A really amazing teaching tool that everybody needs. A pedagogical resource for generations to come!" Professor Helen Marlais - Author of over 200 acclaimed piano books (www.helenmarlais.com) Noteology is a breakthrough tool for teaching piano students to read and play 29 notes in as little as 5 hours — using advanced memory master techniques. Students need no longer have their musical journey slowed-down through difficulty learning the notes! HOW DOES NOTEOLOGY WORK? The student listens as a teacher or parent reads them the hand-illustrated memory stories. These stories build the students' Memory Palace: a vivid, colorful mental map. In minutes, the staff stops being five plain lines and becomes a sparkling lake and a dangerous tower. Notes turn into heroes and villains. Even the piano keys become magical fortresses—and sky cottages high in the clouds. Then the student plays games that bring this mental map to life. Many of these games are played on the actual piano with the app listening. Best of all, there are no boring flash cards involved! WHO IS NOTEOLOGY FOR? Students ages 6-99 who think in English and know some basic phonics such as “Camel begins with C”. HOW IS NOTEOLOGY STRUCTURED? Step 1 — Learn to identify 15 treble notes Step 2 — Learn to play those 15 treble notes on the piano Step 3 — Learn to identify 15 bass notes Step 4 — Learn to play those 15 bass notes on the piano Step 5 — Learn to play all 29 of those notes off the grand staff. Then to lock those notes into more long-term memory: a simple 5-minute routine for 3 weeks. DOWNLOAD NOW Students can spend months or years learning the notes or they can use Noteology!
