Ver.1.1: – What’s New – Added native Japanese language localization support (thanks to the unexpected popularity in Japan!)
SightRead KEY FEATURES:
• 20-note piano keys (specially designed with pro pianists to reduce error touches)
• Realistic piano sounds
• Selectable TREBLE or BASS CLEF
• Selectable KEY SIGNATURES, from 7 FLATS (C-flat maj) to 7 SHARPS (C-sharp maj)
• SHARP/FLAT take effect for the whole measure (4 notes) as you would expect on a real music score
• NATURAL symbol also appears, to cancel the above effect
• High score ranking and name entry (challenge your friends!)
• You can play the game whilst listening to music on your iPhone/iPod
Although there are other music playing apps around, many of them don’t give exercises in sharp/flat/natural carry overs (which is essential training for beginners or experts), so this app is very effective in this respect.
The best way to improve your music reading speed is by repeated exercises, so SightRead is the perfect way to procrastinate without feeling guilty!
