Build music-theory habits into faster sight reading: read notes with better accuracy, and fix mistakes right away. This app turns practice into a clear learning path: start with the fundamentals, then progressively cover notes, rhythm, tonality, and harmony. You get instant feedback, plus wrong-answer review and progress stats—so you can correct errors and read faster. What you will train (by modules): • Note recognition: locate staff positions and clef mapping, then pick the correct note • Note values & rests: read lengths together with “silence” (rests) • Time signature & rhythm: build strong-beat cycles and bar-level structure • Interval recognition: connect pitch relationships for faster recognition • Scale recognition & key signature: learn how scales and key signatures are written • Chord recognition & modes: read harmonic color with more confidence • Musical terms: spot common expression and performance markings quickly • Ornament recognition: read trills/appoggiaturas/passing tones without missing them • Harmonic progression & harmonic analysis: follow the logic, improve prediction Two ways to practice: 1) Learning Path: clear stages (Stage 1–8). Pass levels to unlock the next steps. Some further progress may require a subscription. 2) Free Practice: choose the modules you want to strengthen, set the training range/difficulty, and keep reviewing your progress. Results you can see: • Progress curve and module-level stats: spot weak areas and watch improvements • Wrong-answer feedback & review: turn “why I missed it” into your next training step Who it's for: • Students and self-learners who want faster, more accurate sight reading • Learners who need structured music theory practice • Anyone preparing for music school exams or theory/reading assessments - The subscriptions are $1.99 weekly with free trial - Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase - Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period - Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal - Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase - Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that service, where applicable`` - Terms of use:https://muscifeedback.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/RecognitionTerms_en.html - Privacy of use: https://muscifeedback.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/RecognitionPrivacy_en.html

Compose Studio 譜面入力

Features
Read full description

手元のパート譜を、タッチ操作で書き写していくアプリです。 ■ 指の上下だけで音高が決まる 画面右下の音高パッドを上下になぞると音高が決まり、指を離すと確定します。 書き込む場所は譜面のカーソルが示し、なぞっている間はそこに下書きの音符が出ます。 指を離す前に音を確かめられるので、迷ったらそのまま動かし直せます。 ■ 押さえたまま、もう一方の指で音価を変える 音高を決める指を置いたまま、別の指で音の長さ・付点・臨時記号を切り替えられます。 臨時記号はダブルタップで固定でき、続けて使うときに押し直す必要がありません。 書いたあとの音符も、カーソルを合わせて音価を押せば長さを変えられます。 ■ 移調楽器はパート譜どおりに書ける クラリネットやアルトサックスのような移調楽器を選ぶと、譜面はパート譜と同じ記譜で表示・入力できます。 保存されるデータと再生音は実音なので、あとで他のパートと合わせても音が食い違いません。 ■ 曲の途中で拍子・調号・テンポが変わっても書ける 小節を選んで小節設定を開けば、その小節から拍子・調号・テンポ・練習番号を変更できます。 小節の追加・削除も同じ画面から行えます。 ■ 連符は3連・5連・6連・7連 選んでいる音価がそのまま連符の占める長さになります。4分音符なら1拍3連、2分音符なら2拍3連。 枠を作ってから中身の音符を書き込みます。 ■ 書いた譜面はファイルとして持ち出せる 曲は端末内に譜面ファイル(.musil)として保存され、「ファイル」アプリからも見えます。 共有シートで他のアプリへ渡せます。同じ作者の「プログラマブルメトロノーム」に読み込めば、 書き写した譜面をそのままテンポの設計に使えます。 ■ 書きかけを失わない 編集中の内容は自動的に退避され、アプリを閉じても次の起動で続きから再開できます。 すべて端末内で動作し、ネットワーク通信は行いません。広告もアカウント登録もありません。
