    The app is absolutely great!! I use it every day with all my students. i’d like to ask if the next version could include chords and both clefs (for piano) from the easiest level. Another aspect i’d like to combine is the rhythmical-it’d be great if the modus ‘play that note’ could combine 8,4,2,16 notes in different levels,the reading would be realistic-maybe some real examples from composers once in a while.

    I hope my comments are good! Again congratulations for the game!!it really makes my students improve in a speed i didn’t expected!

      Ernesto,
      We always like to hear from music teachers.
      1) We do not plan to do chords. It’s just too hard for us!
      2) As I am sure you know, both BASS and TREBLE clefs are supported, just not for the easier levels.
      3) If you start using Play-A-Day, you will find that different rhythms are included in that.
      James
