Musicnotes Decks

I’m in my late fifties and am learning a musical instrument for the first time (tenor sax!). I need to learn my sheet music skills from scratch and this is just what I need. Anytime I’ve a couple of free moments I just pull out my phone and polish my recognition speed. Only criticism is that I wish there was a mute sound effects button. The card riffle noise is especially irritating!

This app is great for testing or quizzing students who have a basic knowledge if music theory. I find that the wording in the explanation has to sometimes be re-explained, but I think it helps understanding when you have to work through. I love that there is an option to change the way notation is named (ei. Crotchet - quarter note) All in all, exactly what I expected.

The app works beautifully (especially once I realised there was a British version, which had the terms I knew) but I did expect there to be more cards in the selection. Even for somebody who doesn't know the terms, it would take no time at all to learn them and then there is no challenge or even a need to use the cards. More decks needed ASAP and I hope at no extra cost. After all, there is a wealth of material available in this field! But as I said, great job on the app itself - works well and the speech is clear ( and correct).

The sound effects almost ruin this product. There is no way to turn off the loud and unpleasant sound of the cards being shuffled.

It’s really good functionality is there it’s not overflowing with features but it’s a well made app I recommend it.

Would be better if you could set the cards to flip automatically, with adjustable time period.

Good for what it is, but the interface is not responding to taps well. Without an update in three years, it might be a bit long in the tooth for iOS compatibility.

I'm a piano teacher and I use this app all the time for my students. It is super easy to use. All my students that are using it are improving the reading super fast. It is always nice to have flash cards on the go. Although is not for the use of young beginners but for adults and kids that understand and read notes on staff already is perfect.

I almost got fired at my job cause I kept trying to find good learning piano apps on my phone. Went through hundreds and I can say this is in the top 3.

Love the easy interface but there's no way to select ranges of notes to work on so makes it useless for me as a teacher. It's all or nothing. I can't limit the decks to suit the learner: e.g., five notes only for new beginner; line notes only, no leger lines, etc. Fix this and I'm in.
