Below is a list of links to the iPad APPS which I HIGHLY recommend to all of my students. Each of these is under $7.00, and jam-packed with features! I've notice a BIG difference in my student's skill development since I began using these APPS during the lessons. My students are much more likely to practice these skills at home than they used to be, since they LOVE playing games on the iPad, and I LOVE that they are learning faster and better than ever before. Many of these APPS are iPhone friendly, also.
"Music Theory Pro" is the best APP of it's kind. Featuring over 20 games
for learning key signatures, chords, scales and inversions. Also includes
ear training drills for chords, scales, tempos and more! The BEST value!
"Piano Notes" trains students to name the notes on the staff
and to associate them directly to the keyboard. Includes both
clefs, key signatures and more. A MUST for all piano students!
Available at a bargain price, too!
"Rhythm Trainer" teaches students to read and play rhythms
by tapping them on the iPad. This APP gives great feedback as
to the students reading accuracy and time-keeping ability.
Another one of my favorite APPS of ALL TIME!
"Metronomics" is the best and last metronome a musician will
ever need. Easily customizable settings let you create your own
metronomes from simple to complex with custom subdivisions,
accents, sounds and settings. Features a visual metronome and
a easy to read display. Endlessly programmable, from subdivisions
to polyrhythms, this is the last word in metronomes!
"Real Piano" provides a virtual keyboard large enough to be useful
for practicing patterns on the keyboard when away from the piano.
Also includes a huge piano chord library for reference. Super value!
"Garage Band" gives students the means to record themselves
during practice and listen back. Includes a large library of instruments
for creating and recording your own songs. An incredibly powerful
and fun to use APP. A MUST for composers and songwriters!
