Incredible App Listens As You Learn To Play Christmas Carols!

‘My Note Games!’ the clever new app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod that listens as learners play their musical instruments has been updated with 16 classic Christmas carols!

London (I-Newswire) December 2, 2011 - ‘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”

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!’ supports piano, guitar, recorder, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and trumpet. It also offers limited support for violin, viola, cello, voice and even whistling!
