    FIXED In App Purchase Problem
    I’ve been using this app for a while now, but recently I bought the piano package for all the grades, but I can’t access it because I get the message “Unable to connect to the In App Purchase Server at this time. Try again later”. I was already charged and I really need this for my class! It’s such a good app, but this is really frustrating! *EDIT: The problem was fixed, it took a while, but I’m glad I can use this app now!* Show more

    For Everyone
    I found this app very helpful for someone learning a new instrument, even adults.

    Immediately Helpful
    My intonation and bowing fluidity improved in an hour, in ways I could not cultivate without external help. It was great. Highly recommended, even if you can only afford the few free scales. It will get your ear to fingers to bow connection going. Show more

    Not free
    This app does nothing unless you buy in app purchases. If it's not then don't put in the App Store as free.

    Classical guitar?
    This App sounds great! I would love to have it if they include guitar in the instrument selection.

    Not complete but pretty good
    At first I was wondering why most of the scales were missing but then I realized that they are presented as a student would progress through the grades. It is actually a pretty good app for education and practice. The design and implementation is good but I feel like it could have more content. Idea: Could use a tuner. Show more

    How about some real music??
    Nice app. I'm an adult returning to my cello after taking a couple-decades break and checked to see if this is something I could use. And I might. But only if some quality background music choices are added. Someone earlier said that the current offerings are hokey. So true, there's just a bunch of olde timey ring tone-type stuff to choose from. I don't want to listen to that! How about letting me accompany some great classical music? I'd also love some rock and top-40 choices. The students who use this app aren't making computerized music, we're playing real music using real stringed instruments! Offering real music is what would make this app work for me. The metronome's nice, but I don't need it, so I'd just as soon open up one of my methods books to practice. Maybe the developers were only targeting the very youngest of students. Too bad! They're selling this app too short. Show more

    Brass Instruments?
    I feel like this app would be perfect for everyone including me, but there is one small problem… I play the tuba.

    Other instruments?
    This would be nice if it were for more instruments than orchestra.

    Good start
    I've tested this with a few students. However they intuitively were trying to be in sync with the timeline bar rather than the audio (perhaps as the iPad speaker was not loud enough in studio)-but I've discovered if they follow when the bar passes the note they will be behind the beat. It would also help scanning purposes if the note heads could highlight or change color when they should be played. It would be cool to have option to add fingerlings or display pitches, or make new rhythm patterns that wouldn't require changing the accompaniment, or more than the 2 note slur option (3,4,6,8). All the other features are great. Show more

    Good work, keep working!
    As a professional designer and a professional string player / teacher, I appreciate the simplicity both In aesthetics function. The music that can play along is a little absurd, it might be fun for kids tho. I will test it out on my students. What I would love would be a drone, either chord or just one tone. And I probably won't use it until it includes all three and four scale octaves. Please keep up the good work!!! Show more

    Please add wind instruments. This could be very helpful.
  • JoyfulTunes, 08.02.2016
    FINALLY!! Yes!! Thank you!
    Been looking for a long time to find a good practice tool. Thanks! Keep it up!

    Good start
    If you guys add classical guitar, you will receive five star rating and I will buy all of the grades. This would be great for my students!!

    Instruments
    Wonderful app, but I agree with the instrumentation. I am a woodwind (clarinet) and expanding would be great.
  • Danidetonate, 05.02.2016
    Concept
    The concept is fantastic, however, I wish it had more options for instruments
  • mcgojosh, 05.02.2016
    Please add band
    As a band teacher, I love apps like this that help students become better musicians. I would love to see this app expanded to include band instruments as well!
