rapDo!
Read full descriptionHide full description
rapDo! is your digital rhythm coach. You don’t need an instrument and can learn and practice anytime, anywhere. You’ll learn rhythm like a language, using just five syllables. You start with simple rhythm "words" and progress to rhythm "sentences." This approach covers all possible rhythms found in classical music, pop, dance music, and jazz. rapDo! adapts to your progress: mastered rhythms are set aside, while challenging rhythms are repeated until you perfect them. At the same time, you’ll see how the spoken rhythms look in standard notation, allowing you to learn rhythm and sight-reading simultaneously. Learning with tonal syllables is a proven and globally recognized method. It is much faster and more effective than calculating with note values (quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc.). The rapDo! method is scientifically grounded. Its foundation is based on the groundbreaking teaching work Learning Sequences in Music by Edwin Gordon.

With Audiator, you can systematically learn solfège while simultaneously improving your musicality. With these audiation exercises, you train your ear and your inner sense of pitch, to respond musically with voice or instrument, and your understanding of music. Make music with this app: basics and chords in major and minor. The app sings for you on neutral or sofège syllables, you can directly imitate that and receive feedback, if the notes were in tune. Playfully learn to hear and understand the inner connections through solfège syllables. What you can sing yourself, you understand much better than if you count notes. The app supports you doing so. Additionally, you can play along with all exercises on your instrument, and the app recognizes different octaves. To learn the language of music, you ideally don't start with musical notation and theory, but with practice: listening, singing, making music. You can practice the little parts of music (patterns) here as musical vocabulary, even before written notation comes into play. Edwin E. Gordon has extensively researched and described this in his Music Learning Theory. On the start page, you get suggestions for what you can practice or review next. Upgrade to Audiator PRO: Practice 10 more units (100 exercises) in your app and create 100 of your own individual units.
