Easy Lessons for Everyone

The app comes with built-in lessons for both treble and bass clefs, so you can jump right into practicing. It shows you the note on the clef, and then you can hit the correct sound using your mouse on a virtual keyboard, typing on your computer’s keyboard, or tapping on your MIDI keyboard.
