Nice job.
I actually built a fairly unique edutainment app for the opposite skill set - learning to play by ear. It works with piano, guitar, and other instruments. I always tell my students there’s no reason to choose between sight reading and ear training as they complement each other really well. Link is in my bio if you’re interested.
I’d be curious to know what the existing apps were missing that made you decide to roll your own. Things like Sight Reading Factory, Read Ahead, Synthesia, Piano Maestro, etc.
One small bit of feedback: never ever ever use a metronome sound that has a defined pitch. In your app, it sounded like C and G respectively. That kind of pitched click can interfere with a player’s ability to internalize the music and can disrupt auditory processing. Instead, use woodblocks or other purely percussive sounds that don’t have a defined pitch.
- ltouro 4mo agoThanks for your feedback! I fixed the metronome and now it sounds more realistic and (hopefuly) not clashing with what you are playing. Regarding the apps you mentioned, I only knew Synthesia. Will check the others. I used Piano Marvel for a while and I did not like it 100%.
