Jellybean Tunes

This app is wonderful for performance using colored handbells. I connect it to the classroom screen and we play our colored pitched percussion by following songs we created or the ones that are included on the app. If the creator of this app would make it so more than one note could be playing at a time with colors, they could sell it to educators for much more $. Also could change the colors of the colors to the plastic tube colors that would be an enormous seller as well.

Unfortunately, I did not like any of the features in this app. They do not ensure learning and students can easily make mistakes without realizing.

------The good------ Excellent lessons, in fact the best lessons I've ever seen on basic music notation for any age. Easy to create your own music. Cute user interface. ------The bad------ No game to help kids memorize note location. No piano keyboard mappings. After playing a song, it's hard to play it again, as the replay option is the only one presented, and that just plays back your rendition of the song. This problem had my daughter in tears, so I hope it gets fixed in a subsequent release.

This would be a great app if the notes were correctly written on staff...the space notes should fill the space. The flat and sharp signings are not correctly written either. For line note sharps, the center of the sharp sign needs to have the staff line going through it. I am sorry that I purchased it.

This is a wonderful app for beginning musicians. The lessons are simple and lots of fun, but you should correct the time signatures which are wrong....Itsy bitsy spider should be 6/8. It would be a good idea to get a musician who had studied music theory to help correct the rhythms on Row your boat. I would use this in elementary school music classes if it was corrected.

This is a nice program, but I wish it had bass clef too.

We just won a code for this. I have two daughter's a 1 year old and 2.5 year old. We've been playing since I got the app and my 2.5 year old loves it her favorite is twinkle little star. I think it would be fun to add what the notes are, maybe have the notes pop like a balloon when you touch them, have different speeds that the song plays on, maybe add some graphics that corresponds to each song. Like a spider going up the spout, rain coming down to make it more interactive for little ones. Fun, app we love it look forward to more songs, holidays, ect... Thank you for creating a fun app. Maybe make this app education like your holiday app teach the different notes, bars I think that would be awesome if you did I know many moms who would purchase if you did that.

This is a cute app. I love the lessons for slightly older kids who are ready to learn about music as they are simple to understand and follow. They are a little dry for younger children. But I love that kids do not have to go thru the lessons to play the tunes. Kids who just love to play around can go straight to the tunes and start without any lessons or instructions because the app is so simple. The playback feature was a great hit with my kids as they could hear and watch the tune they made by touching the notes. Overall a great little app for beginning musicians!

Lesson #1 is WRONG. Do not buy this app, if you want your child to learn. If you simply want to entertain her, buy it. I purchased this app because of the high rating it received from other buyers. Has anyone else noticed that the notes are incorrectly labeled on the treble clef staff? I don't know much about music but, this is something one would have learned in her very first music class in Kindergarten or first grade.

This is a great app for children and adults who want to learn about music and also possibly create their own music. It allows an individual to go at their own pace of learning. In addition, the recording feature is great because it allows you to record both the music and singing and play it back at a later time.
