Users praise the music aspect for its well-designed learning tools, such as the circle of fifths display, which aids in practicing and understanding sheet music. Although MIDI files for known songs aren't included due to copyright, plenty are available online, enabling users to explore music beyond physical instrument limitations. Many find the app both educational and enjoyable, especially as it helps beginners grasp melodies and harmonies, making music learning engaging and rewarding.
- “Great design, shows how much I've practiced, helps learn sheet music, and it's nice to have an option to always have the circle of fifths displayed.”
- “I decided to try this and teach myself some piano and music theory, and maybe help my other instrument skills.”
- “They can't include MIDI files for playing known songs in the app because of copyright, but you can find a lot of those online.”
- “I'm a lever harp player, and for that reason I have a whole stack of sheet music I've wanted to play and couldn't because of the physical limitations of the instrument.”
- “If you haven't touched a piano before, this is like crack once you figure out how to play the basic melody of a song you like, then figure out how to add harmony to it (i.e. play more than one note at once layered in a way that actually sounds good).”
