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.
an intelligent quick learning algorithm (focusing training on student's weak points)
a flexible lesson choice and a set of preset lessons focused on gradual learning of successive notes
bass and treble clefs
a flexible speed goal choice and a set of preset speed-goal levels (to encourage training for fast, automatic notes reading)
two training modes:
static, vertical notes' positions (preparation for chord reading)
horizontal, game-style
(preparation for sight-reading)
voice recognition (you can answer questions with your voice!)
sound output choice: standard, for guitar players or custom
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.
