1. 5/5The best way to teach yourself piano notes

   I’m currently teaching myself to play the piano. I have no musical past. I was convinced I could never read sheet music. I highly recoment the full version of this app. With the lessons and a bit of practice both on the app and with my intrument I’ve been blown away with the progress I’ve made. It’s only been about two weeks and I can easily decipher most of the notes on the trebble cleff!! Though it’s not going to teach you pacing (at least it hasnt for me at lesson 15) and you’ll need to study up a bit on that online if you’re in the “teaching yourself an instrument” boat like i am. The one and only “issue” (if you can call it even that) I’ve had is that there is no in-app way to apply the skills I’ve learned. I’d love to have a simple tune infront of me and, just like in practice mode, play it and it correct me if I get it wrong. So basically if it’s possible- an option to play a tune and apply what i’ve learned would be amazing! This app is 100% worth the money- it’s just unbelievable how affordable it is for how much you can get out of it!! I saw a lot of improvement in myself with practicing a bit every day! having an app like this makes it so easy to practice a bit on the bus ride home or whenever i find myself bored with social media. to add to that, an option to play music would make the app much much more fun! its almost like a game!

2. 5/5Much better than mnemonics

   If you are having a hard time learning notes or simply want an effective way to learn them, you should absolutely get this app. I’ve only been using it an hour and my note identification has already improved leaps and bounds. I’m an adult beginner learning to play piano. I’d been relying on mnemonics to learn the grand staff. But no matter how much I worked on note identification exercises, my note recognition was not improving. I realized the mnemonics were hindering me. Having to state the whole mnemonic, then applying the correct word to the correct note, then finding the note on the staff is not effective. This is a cumbersome and frustrating way for me to learn, and I was beginning to feel hopeless. I’m also using a Faber adult beginners book and love the way it progresses by gradually introducing new notes. So I searched the web for other music note apps that would teach more in that way and found Notes Teacher. This app is great! I love that one new note is introduced at a time, and I can repeat each lesson as many times as I want. I’m already feeling more confident after just an hour and believe I will soon be able to progress in my piano lessons. To the developer, thank you so much for making this app and helping learners like me.

3. 5/5Great app, thank you so much!

   I have tried several different apps to learn music notes because I bought a violin and I’m determined to learn how to play it. The only problem is.... I can’t read music. I know, that’s a big problem. Most apps do color coordinated things are you learn more to rely on the colors than the actual letters or “notes.” With this app, it teaches one note at a time, gives a lesson, and let’s you repeat that quick lesson as many times as you need to until you feel comfortable moving to the next note. I’m in my 40’s so sometimes I have to repeat it a few times to get it to stick it my old brain, lol. But this is by far the fastest way I have found for me personally to learn fast and retain the knowledge. Also, I just wanted to say Thank you to whoever made this app because they obviously made it due to their love of music and wanting to help others. It is free and I have not had ANY ADS! That is amazing! I am absolutely IN LOVE with this app and will continue to use it until I learn everything I can possibly learn. There are not many people out there who will make apps just to help people, that are completely free & absolutely no ads. So to my hero, Thank You!!

4. 5/5Amazing!

   I do have some experience playing piano, took lessons about 10 years ago. Have always struggled with sight reading. Tried several apps before but none of them helped. This app is wonderful to teach you not only the notes but actually how to read them as if you were really looking at sheet music! I find that I’m not looking at the buttons on the bottom, but rather at the notes, which is exactly as it should be and is building good habits. The audio also helps, it’s a bit like practicing on a basic electric keyboard. The timer is also really helpful at building good habits and keeping me from focusing forever on the notes I don’t know. You’ve got to get to the point where you’re reading it just like a book, each note is a letter and you can’t just stall on one letter, and this app and the timer helps with that so I keep moving and am learning to read the words (the notes all together), instead of just recognizing the individual letters (1 note.) Absolutely love this app and it is worth the cost of the premium version by far.

5. 5/5Good for improving speed of note recognition

   Aside from taking lessons when I was 10, and music in high school, my music reading skills are limited to none. I never took the time to really sit down and study reading and learning the notes. While I know the names of the basic notes, I’ve always had trouble being able to identify them quickly. This has resulted in my timing being off and having trouble following music. I’ve only spent about an hour with this app, but so far I feel it is helping improve note recognition and speed. I still get flustered and an make a lot of errors, but I do notice an improvement so far. When you retry the lesson, it appears the new attempt randomly changes the notes, with the exception of the note you are learning, which prevents you from improving your score due to pattern memorization.
