Fun for all the family... and future tenors, divas & rock stars!
1. Accessible and innovative gameplay,
2. No music skill needed to enjoy,
3. Proven scientific method,
4. From the land of Chopin,
5. Over 200 famous melodies,
6. Learn to recognize both pitch & tone,
7. Next time you hum in the shower, it might be in tune.
Many of our team grew up with very little formal music education, but now many of us have kids, and we were looking for a way to help them (and us) learn about & love music.
We approached the smartest music geeks in the land of Chopin (academics from the Wroclaw Music Academy, Poland) to get an in-depth understanding on the science behind learning to play an instrument or sing a song in tune.
Our team were surprised to learn that there are proven methods that can significantly improve pitch & tone recognition (a vital first step to becoming a maestro) for anyone... whether a 4 year old just becoming interested in music all the way to their grandparents.
We have taken that fundamental science, and turned it into a fun game that we are sure you will enjoy.

We love this app but it won’t work with iOS 11. Please fix it so we can play your wonderful game!
The description of the app is accurate as to game play experience, but be aware that you only get the piano. If you want to play with the other instruments, you have to buy them for a buck each, to plunk down four bucks for a full collection. This really should be made clear right upfront, just so consumers have the full information when making their decision to commit to this game. That said, it's a really fun way to train the ear to recognize musical tones and progressions. You DO NOT play the piano, or other instruments in the conventional sense. Rather, you tap to the right or left, depending on wether you want to indicate that a tone is higher or lower than the previous one. This makes it easier for younger players, who won't have to be extremely precise - it makes it way less frustrating to play for them. There is an element of challenge to the game - some of the melodies have more than a dozen notes to play ! Overall, I liked the game a lot; it was just an unpleasant surprise to find not all the instruments were part of the game.
Something which totally suprised me: this IS the music game. It's not another guitar-hero-arcade-button-mashup-with-background-tracks, but game which utilize your ear for music. After some plays I feel like I develop my ability to hear the tonal differences;) I love it! ;D
I'm enjoying the brain exercise. Wish you could slow down the playback speed, it would help beginners such as myself. Each new instrument has to be purchased, and was disappointed that "guitar" was electric not acoustic. They should clarify that.
Game seems to be an original idea, but it has freezing and crashing problems, gotta fix it...
I wish I had played this as a child, it's incredible how much this game has helped me to better understand sound and music. Every parent should give this to young children. I am impressed!!
This is a great app that helps beginners understand the relationship between pitches and their placements on the keyboard. Good job!
Captivating and immense, this game has longevity. It is also very good ear trainer, perfect for music students and musicians alike.
