Was ist KoBaFu? Mit der KoBaFu-Methode hast Du die Möglichkeit, ohne Vorkenntnisse schnell Noten lesen zu lernen. Anwender mit Vorkenntnissen profitieren von der Methode und können rasche Fortschritte erzielen. Was unterscheidet die KoBaFu-Methode von anderen Methoden? KoBaFu ist eine natürliche und einfache Methode Noten lesen zu lernen. Sie basiert auf bildnerischen Darstellungen. Dies erlaubt es viel spielerischer, leichter und nachhaltiger zu lernen. Die KoBaFu-Methode vereint mehrere Sicht- bzw. Leseweisen. Sie vereint den "Schnecken blick" und den "Vogelblick", die rationale und intuitive Sichtweise und fördert sowohl das relative als auch absolute Notenlesen. Das Spielfeld wird in Form von Mustern erkannt und es ist möglich selbst innerhalb von kurzer Zeit alle Noten sicher zu lesen, ohne auswendig zu lernen. Für welches Alter ist KoBaFu geeignet? Das Alter spielt keine Rolle. Bisher haben Kinder, junge Erwachsene bis zu hin zu Senioren erfolgreich mit der KoBaFu-Methode das Notenlesen erlernt. Brauche ich irgendwelche Voraussetzungen? Selbst Anwender die sich bisher schwer getan die Noten zu verstehen, werden mit dieser Methode erfolgreich sein. Wobei das „lernen“ eher spielerisch und wie selbstverständlich erfolgt. Die KoBaFu-Methode geht vom Erleben und nicht vom auswendig lernen müssen aus. Was benötige ich? Ein Instrument – Klavier oder Keyboard und einen Computer oder Tablet oder Smartphone mit einer Verbindung zum Internet um die Inhalte abrufen zu können.

PracticePro knows your concert date, listens while you practise and remembers how in tune you play. Metronome and tuner sit right on the start screen, one tap away. RUN-THROUGH WITH ANALYSIS Play your piece or a section. The app records and goes through the recording note by note: green in tune, yellow close, red off. You see whether your instrument was flat or sharp and which notes wobbled, in your notation. Tap an unclean spot on the timeline and you hear exactly that passage. INTONATION WHILE YOU PRACTISE For strings, winds and voice, a graph shows where each note sits in the key of your piece. Perfect, Clean or Rough: five, ten or fifteen cents. When the signal isn't clear, the app shows no rating instead of guessing. A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR CALENDAR Give a piece a concert or exam date. The time check compares the hours it still needs with the free hours in your calendar. The practice calendar spreads your repertoire across those hours and recalculates every day. From your calendar the app reads only when you are busy — no titles, no contents. REPERTOIRE WITH CATALOGUE Type two letters of the composer and pick the work from a catalogue of around seven hundred works for violin, viola, cello, piano, flute, clarinet and chamber music — with duration, difficulty and key. EVERYTHING FOR THE SESSION Metronome up to 300 BPM with silent beat and drone, tuning, recording with editor, time target, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and widgets for your practice goals and today's plan. A session starts silent: nothing ticks and nothing records until you ask. PROGRESS YOU CAN SHOW Statistics, a practice journal, a weekly sheet as a PDF for your teacher and a share card after a run-through. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, “Ask the app” answers questions about your own data, right on your device. PRIVATE Recordings, numbers and questions stay on your device and in your iCloud. No account, no tracking. FREE AND PREMIUM Try everything for seven days. Free afterwards: practising with clock and streak, metronome, tuning, five pieces, recordings up to five minutes and five minutes of intonation a day. Premium is a purchase, not a subscription: unlimited repertoire with catalogue, time check and practice plan, intonation and run-throughs without limit with history, statistics, journal and weekly sheet. If you already had Premium, you keep all of it. The intonation measurement is most reliable with a single voice at slow to moderate tempo; it measures intonation, not rhythm or tone. Piano, organ, harp and guitar get run-throughs without intonation measurement.
