This is a note and song teaching app I made to help kids learn music. It has cute graphics and fun play modes, while remaining true to actual musical education by using real musical notation. This is a free version that lets you try the first few lessons and songs, with the rest available for in-app purchase. Video at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfeYYW0Mqw8&feature=youtu.be Feedback from a music teacher: "It teaches the visual association of staff notes-to-keyboard keys in a way that is sympathetic to children's motivation and need for reward. The built in teacher and fade-in answer are great for this kind of bland memory-work, as kids absorb and memorize the notes, they rely less and less on the help. With this app I can get kids whose parents don't read music or play a musical instrument to learn this vital reading skill in a much shorter time scale. It also encourages parents or other siblings to learn to read." Also check out the review at theiphonemom.com! From learning the basic single notes to scales, a flashcard and music game format teaches your child note names and positions using a piano keyboard. Cute characters appear to guide and support learning. 36 lessons and songs teach note basics, clefs, scales, arpeggios, sharps, and flats. -Treble and Bass clef -Note names pop up as hints if too much time passes -CDE or Do Re Mi (solfege) can be chosen. -Lessons and songs are graded to track progress -Free play piano mode for fun!
