'My Note Games!' will be used to teach the One Life Left presenters how to play a Christmas Carol on their recorders.

'My Note Games!', the incredible iOS app that listens as you play your instrument, will be making it's radio debut on Monday 12th December at 7pm on Resonance 104.4FM

Simon Byron of One Life Left says:
"It’s our last show ever of the year on Monday, so what better way to celebrate it than with carols played on recorders.

The catch? We can’t play recorders. But we’re hoping a new iOS title ‘My Note Games‘ can teach us. In an hour. Whilst we also “do” the show, which we’re not capable of doing even when we are just doing it.

We’ll be joined by the makers of the game, who have pledged to get us Silent Nighting like the nerd recorder-playing equivalent of Bond.

What can possibly go wrong?

Tune in live, Monday night, 7:00pm 104.4 Resonance FM for carol-crash radio."

‘My Note Games!’ is the first app to use note recognition technology, listening to the notes learners play and delivering instant feedback on how well they are doing. The note recognition technology is tuned for a wide range of instruments including the piano, guitar, trumpet and recorder.

It has been produced by Appatta Ltd, a company set up by James Everard and Ian Willey who both have children who enjoy playing musical instruments but who also love to play with Apps.

 

“Since launching the App three weeks ago we’ve been overwhelmed by the positive responses," said Ian Willey. “We thought it would be fun to add some tunes to ‘My Note Games!’ for the holiday season. We created the carol game so you have an excuse to get out your old guitar or clarinet and start playing again. Then you can have a fun family carol concert on Christmas Day! And if you don’t have an instrument you can just sing to the App J”

As well as ‘Play-A-Carol’, ‘My Note Games!’ contains three other great games: ‘Tap That Note’ is a touch game that teaches the names of the notes, ‘Play That Note’ teaches you to play the first octave of your instrument in tune and ‘Play-A-Day’ is a daily practice game that asks you to play simple phrases in time as well as in tune. 

In addition to the three games ‘My Note Games!’ includes a tuner spanning six octaves.

More games and activities are planned shortly including a basic composition game and a clapping game. 

‘My Note Games!’ is a Freemium app that is free to download and try, but requires payment for access to the higher levels and more complicated lessons.

‘My Note Games!’  app turns children’s music practice into a game! 

 London, UK: A clever new app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod that listens to children as they play their musical instruments goes live on the App Store today!

 It has been produced by James Everard and Ian Willey who both have children who enjoy playing musical instruments but who also love their Nintendos. This gave them the idea of turning the music stand into a games console.

 “We want this to be embraced by music teachers, children and parents as a part of daily practice," says James. "Children sometimes think of sight reading as boring but, as every music teacher knows it enables them to play confidently with other musicians in bands and orchestras. ‘My Note Games!’ makes practicing sight reading fun."

‘My Note Games!’ comprises three games: ‘Tap That Note’ is a touch game that teaches the names of the notes, ‘Play That Note’ teaches you to play the first octave of your instrument in tune and ‘Play-A-Day’ is a daily practice game that asks you to play simple phrases in time as well as in tune.
