Appmuse

I had high hopes for this app, and wanted to try it out to see if it would be helpful for my students, and also see if it would be helpful in my own practice. For me personally, I knew right away that it wouldn’t be all that helpful since it only has a few solo pieces for my instrument (horn). It would be more helpful if it had orchestral excerpts and etudes, and some less standard solo works as well. For a little while I thought it might still be good for my students but it turned out to be just not that great after trying it out with a few pieces. My main complaints are: when the metronome feature is turned on, it is slightly off from the accompaniment that is playing, as is the highlighted bar. Occasionally the accompaniment just completely froze on one note, like it wasn’t picking up my playing correctly. I also noticed it would pause when it picked up the sound from me emptying my horn in the rests. And anytime there was a tempo change it simply did not work well at all. If those were improved, it might be helpful for younger players, and if there was more repertoire it might be better for me. Show more

The app is amazing. Customer support is amazing. I really like that you can play along, and I think it’s amazing you can adjust the latency of the sound. The selection of music is diverse. I of course wish absolutely everything I wanted was immediately available for me to play hahaha but I LOVE that you can submit a request for anything to suggest additions to the repertoire. I definitely will be purchasing a subscription in the future when I can afford it, it’s definitely worth the price. Show more

As a musician I am poor. This is a great app for beginner classical musicians but not for those looking for free music. It would be great to have full, free pieces of music so those who do not want to/ are unable to, can use this app. Show more

As a classical guitarist who’s been playing for a while, I set the level to advanced, but even those pieces are very easy. Purely melodic with barely any harmony. Not a bad app, just a little easy for the advanced section. Show more

Downloaded it for a bit and it looks like it is a great app to practice! If you fall into the main category that the app falls to. Most pieces are classical, which is fine, unless you fall into a nonclassical instrument. Plus some people don’t want to really play classical. For example I downloaded this app and as a Sax player in my school’s jazz band, I want to play some jazz. Unfortunately I couldn’t find one single piece like that. This app has a whole lot of potential that I hope they expand on eventually. Imagine if they could have lessons for your instrument with it. They could have little classes where they could teach improv for example. Great app, Just aint for me. Show more

I love it! Such variety in skill set and music genre! Love that it helps you keep time and can make a variety of other adjustments

The concept of this app is very great, but as a violist, this app lacks any major viola pieces. There are many standard violin concertos on the app but not one of the major viola concertos (Walton, Hindemith, or Bartok) Show more

The thing I’ve noticed about this app, is there’s no hard or challenging pieces. I don’t know if this app is meant for beginners, but they have options for different levels based on how advanced you are. I play the sax, bassoon, and the double bass, and on any of them I couldn’t find any songs that were especially made for those instruments or if they were they weren’t worth playing, ex. Eine Klein Nachtmusik for the bass. In addition to that, you cant even play full pieces unless you pay a dumb amount for what you’re getting. In conclusion, you either have to pay for the app to get anything even somewhat worth playing, or you have to be a piano player/violin player. Show more

I mean I can play from the acoustic guitar section because it’s nearly the same but still

It’s so flexible and has lots of cool features and is such a wonderful resource, I love it.

Thank you for this app.

i cant find any of the pieces im playing that are by well known composers such as vivaldi and breval this app is not good

I would pay for this app if the library were bigger. The available piano repertoire is very limited and almost all Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. Where are all the romantic and contemporary composers?? Show more

Everything was very confusing. I couldn’t get started. I found a lot of other sources that were easier than this app.

Very accurate scores

Love it. Don’t have to time to review in depth, but happy I have it.

有伴奏太棒了

This app inspire me to play and practice for much longer periods of time.

Using a lot in remote lessons! Life changing. Just shared at a Suzuki meeting with all my cello colleagues

This is a such an awesome app, totally recommend it!
