Composer of the Day

Being a piano teacher, I’m always looking for more resources and things I can implement into my teaching. I feel this app will not only broaden my composer knowledge, but my students knowledge as well. Plus, it’s cool knowing what composer was born today, and be able to read a little snippet about them. I love how each composer has an iTunes link so I can familiarize myself with their music and style, and also play a few pieces these composers are well known for to my students. I also wanted to add, I contacted Daniel with a suggestion I had, and he replied within a few hours. Great app and customer service!

I love the brief summary about the classical composer born on each day and the link to ITunes to sample the music. This app makes it easy for me to hear new composers and be exposed to new classical music everyday. Highly recommend this app for a fun and easy way to access the finest music!

I’ve had this app for almost 8 yrs. now and still enjoy opening it two or three times a week to learn about composers, some new to me, and others are old friends. Especially useful is the link to the iTunes Store so that you can browse their recorded works. Because many composers have names with difficult spelling, it is so much easier to press a button, than to remember the exact spelling and to type it exactly right.

Happy to find this app for my iPhone. Just one more tool to ad-lib from in my classical DJ work. Gave it 4 stars because it does not yet allow you to look ahead of “today”. However, the developer promised me he intends to add that feature soon. Recommended app for introducing kids and anyone to classical music in small doses.. planting a seed. Wish teachers would make a habit of referring to this nice app in their classrooms to foster an appreciation of this genre.

I love this app. It introduces the whole family to new music and is easy to use. Thank you so much for making it. Please keep up the great work.😘

How could you not list Leonard Bernstein's bd August 25 and instead have Stefan Wolpe??? I don't trust you any more.

Thanks for creating this! It might be nice to be able to share the composer of the day info via social media sites & such; right now you can only share via mail. Thanks!

I've always wanted a way to gain knowledge about composers across the world without having to take a college course. This app provides just that in a nice interface. Also, when I asked for a possible feature implementation, the creator of the app quickly replied with a thoughtful response. I'm very pleased.

I check this app everyday! I even wrote an email to the app's developer, Daniel, about Beethoven's birth date not being included. He responded very quickly and told me what I had already suspected. We have a christening date & an estimation on his birth, but nothing exact. I appreciated their diligence to accuracy.

Been using this App for about two years. Unfortunately Central Florida is an orchestral music desert. No radio station in this market plays a single note of classical music. Composer of the Day is only place where I can learn about new and different composers and hear music that is new to me. Great job.
