  1. 4/5Pretty great game

    This is a really neat game. So far I’ve got some good responses from my students. I would like to see the grand staff as an option, well as an option to penalize too many wrong answers. Also preventing the game from wanting treble notes on a bass staff would be helpful- right now if you don’t change the clef in settings that can happen. I look forward to future possibilities with this kind of technology. Only .99 worth it !

  2. 5/5Best app for learning notes on the staff - HANDS DOWN

    If you are a musicteacher, please trust me and just buy this now. This latest take on this "typing tutor" style gamification is yielding almost magic results. I've been teaching piano for over 15 years. The results I've had after two weeks with my students this semester is astounding. In two weeks I have seen multiple students go further than they went in a year in reading.. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to teach or learn to read music for the piano. Before Staff Wars LIVE, the original Staff Wars was my goto for teaching the notes on the staff. It had beaten out LineSpace which had way less cusomization and hadn't updated since 1.0 YEARS ago. By opening up the microphone, makign the text larger and simplifying all of the options while offering more control it went other level. These earlier apps revolutionized teaching note reading. StaffWars Live takes it to an entire other level.

  3. 5/5Amazing game

    For those who don’t know how to play piano on this, it’s the Trouble Cleff or one of the Cleffs it’s very good to play on the clarinet piano guitar violin. This is my only way of practicing and whenever I forget how to play an instrument of mine, I do this game and then I go to my music book good at the game with this certain instrument of mine. P.S.for those add haters there’s no ads because it is for learning and only learning music and I really think it’s an amazing game. You guys should really get it. It’s worth the money to.

  4. 3/5It has issues but ok when it works.

    I’m not sure if this app is tuned to something other then A=440. I tune my instrument before using the app and I always have to adjust the slider because it’s not picking up the notes correctly. I been playing clarinet for over 20 years. I want to use this app to practice playing bass clarinet in bass clef and to practice transposing Bassoon to Low C bass. My main issue is the following: When practicing reading bass clarinet on Bass clef the notes are not correct. In bass clef the first space is an A. In treble clef the first space is an F. When the mode is set to bass clarinet with bass clef. The first space is still reading an F which is not correct. Therefore this mode is completely useless. If I set the settings to bass clarinet treble clef it works as expected but I have no use for that. I already know how to read treble clef. If the developer can fix that would be great. Also having a slider to select A=440 or A=442 or something else depending where you are in the world would be great.

  5. 5/5AWESOME APP

    This is a very good app. It is fun, but educational. It has helped me keep my notes memorized and has helped me learn new notes as well. It is MUCH better compared to the regular Staff Wars. It tells you what note your playing when you play it, and you can customize it to your instrument and range of notes. I highly recommend it if you’re having trouble keeping your notes memorized or want to learn new ones.
