Hi everyone,
I wasn't whether I should post here or in the offtopic forum, please move the post if suits the off topic forum better.
Anyways, I'm trying to improve my sight reading. About 6 months ago I found an awesome iphone app that would show me a note in the bass clef, and then it would recognize if I played the right note in my bass (it used the mic on the iphone).
Now I want to download the app again and I can't find it (don't remember its name).
Does anyone know the name of the app or another software with the same features in mac os platform?
Thanks for your help! |

Play through them SLOWLY. Work up the tempo. Should keep you busy for a few years.
That's the "best app" I can suggest. And the are free - all over the internet.  |

I may try that. |

| Sorry? Yes, it's rather constant.
But if Bach is below your ability, you could work on this:  |

A tachistiscope emulator of sorts. You could select certain pitches only if you'd like or select all and set the rate at which notes changed.

| The topic is about sight-reading. Maybe you, my friend (really?  ) missed that lesson.
Now, about the irony bit (not that there was any)... I don't have the interest to explain it to you. |
