Frequently Asked Questions
Not yet, but I would like to offer this possibility in a future update.
A keyboard can be connected via USB (Camera Connection Kit from Apple). For all other instruments, the microphone is the only way to play. I am convinced that this is the most effective and fun way to practice.
No! The game continues as soon as you have played the right note. My experiments with students have shown that displaying errors or corrections is more confusing than helpful. So I decided against it.
The app requires basic knowledge of music notation. Its aim is to speed up the translation of the notes on the instrument. It is therefore not suitable for absolute beginners. In cooperation with a teacher, however, it can already be used profitably in the early lessons.
Unfortunately not and we do not plan to release one. Since I only develop apps on a part-time basis, I spend my time providing one platform with a high-quality app rather than serving several platforms on a mediocre basis. However, I do not rule out the possibility that this view may change in the future.
The app works on all iPhones and iPads that support iOS 9 and later. The app was not tested on the iPod Touch, but I would be happy if someone would tell me about his experiences with it.
