KLearnNotes2 - Introduction

KLearnNotes2 features

KLearnNotes2 helps learning the names of music notes.

In future KLearnNotes2 will be a full-featured music teacher (rhythm, scales, key signatures, chords) with special focus on playing the guitar.

KLearnNotes2 main window

It features:

qt/kdelibs; midi sound output for OSS or using timidity (new featureany system) or ALSA (fixmeexperimental! using tse3 library); voice recognition from microphone (OSS only).

Perfect for a music newbie and for an experienced musician trying to learn new stuff (for example a new staff ;).

Motivation:

I have had played the guitar for a long time, but I still had problems with quick recognition of very high and very low notes in the treble clef. Recently I started singing in a choir. Being a bass, I got bass-clef scores. Again learning which note comes where was a challenge.

When I saw Dominik Seichter's klearnnotes I thought it was a really good idea to use a computer to teach me all this. Unfortunately Seichter's klearnnotes had exactly what I knew and didn't have what I wanted to learn. This is where KLearnNotes2 stems from.

Nearest future goals (not included in version 1.2 yet):
