My new apps for ipad :
I would like to share with you the most recent apps I have discovered suitable for piano/music lessons and students, which I've just begun using on my new ipad.
JustPractice: this free app is the ideal place to record practice minutes and weekly practice totals. There is a calendar, a place to notate the pieces you are working on, a practice log, a weekly log, a link to you tube for listening purposes, and so much more! I love this app, and recommend students download it on their iphone or ipad for regular use.
wessar ABRSM Reader: this free sight reading app is great, since the bar you have just finished playing disappears from sight to prompt you to read ahead. Sight reading examples are available at varying levels.
Note Squish: This app helps students learn note names on the staff. One must squish the mole that appears with the correct letter name to win points. For $ .99, a great buy!
Music Keys: this free app helps students identify the note names of the piano keys. When asked, press the correct key on the piano, and the key colors (turns blue, or orange or....) , and moves forward.
Music Notes: colorful training here to learn note values, such as whole note, half note, quarter note, and so on.
We learn from each other, therefore I would like to give credit to pianoanne (Nova Scotia) and Music Study Studio (Arizona) for their posts about popular music apps.
Colleagues in other parts of the country and the world are doing fantastic and creative things in the field of piano pedagogy, and are gracious to share their creations and talents through blogging.
