Excellent software!!

Pros: Very well thought out and works perfectly with MIDI keyboard. I went ahead and purchased the pro version. It was a bargain for everything the program can do.

Cons: Nothing. If you are learning to read music, this is the program to buy.

Outstanding Software. Perfect way to learn to read notes.

Pros: Let me start this way. In the last 8 years I've downloaded hundreds of programs from download.com. This is the ONLY ONE that I have purchased.

This program teaches you to read notes in the bass and treble cleff. You can pick a range of notes that you want to practice so that you don't have to try to learn too many notes at once.

This program has a ton of features that you can read about in the description, but I really didn't need to use any of the other features.

If you are learning to read music, this program will do an outstanding job of teaching you to read the notes.

Cons: Note that this program teaches you to read notes. It does not teach you other aspects of sheet music, such as note duration (whole note, half note, etc), chords, or any other indicators on sheet music. I do not view this as a drawback, because this program makes clear that it's just to help you learn to read the notes.

Here are some features that I would like to see added, but please understand that this program is great even without these features.

1) It would be nice if the program offered an option to show different notes in different colors as well as black. This could help in the initial learning of notes and could be turned off as a user got better in their ability to read notes. One thing about learning is that the more multimedia that you can make it, the quicker it happens.

2) I'd like to see a note preview feature that showed what the next note coming up will be. In music, reading ahead is an essential skill. This program could help users acquire that skill with a note preview feature.

3) It would be great if this company either added to this product or created a follow-on product that would offer more music reading skills, such as by chord recognition and note duration.

Testimonials

I  really like the program.  I bought it for my nine year old daughter, and she has been having fun playing it.  Even doing it for just three nights, a couple of times a night, I've seen her improve.

-Lou S.

Your trial version helped me so much, and I know I will get even better with time now that I have the full version.  Once again, thank you so much!

-Jewel B.

We have used the trial version and I absolutely love it! My kids play both the violin and piano and your program allows us to do the flashcard drills without me having to referee. all the time.  I use it also to keep my abilities up to snuff!  Thanks again for a great program! I shall definitely pass it on to others I know who will certainly benefit from it .

-Bernadette

Thank you so much for The Notable Music Flashcards.  It's a great package!  I only wish I'd gotten a copy earlier.  Every music instruction facility in the world should have a site license.

-Peter

Just wanted to tell you how much I like your program.  I have quite a few music students, and several have learning disabilities.  Your program is working great with them.  The repetition in the lower levels is just what I needed for them.

-Doris B

Thanks for the program. I bought this for my daughter but I have enjoyed it just as well.

-Tom M.

I am a "senior" who has renewed a much earlier interest in learning to play the piano.  I am teaching myself and have found The Noteable Flashcards software a very useful adjunct to the piano software course that I am using.

-Richard H.

Great program. Better than all the fancy "training suites".  Keep it simple! Thanks.

-Gary J.

 

I just purchased your software, which I must say is far superior to any of the other note flash cards I've tried.  I thank you for a great product.

-Ryan L.

I have been playing guitar for thirty seven years and must admit that this is the first flash card program I have found that will be useful to my students.

-Noteable User

I just purchase your software.  I was dyslectic as a kid.  I have never read books much and played piano by ear since I was three, but stopped before college as I could not progress.  I am 57 now.  I just took a music appreciation course for fun and realized how much I missed music.  I asked the instructor about learning to read music.  He told me of courses to take and private lessons at $30.00 per half hour.  I searched on Altavista and found your software.  I play it as a game for a few minutes every day and am sure I am on the road to reading music with little effort and no frustration.  It may take years, but so be it.  I and frustration do not get along.

-Greg D.

I am a school teacher who is trying out your software (free download), and I am finding it great fun and very helpful in instruction for kids.

-Noteable User

Great program!  Wife and I are already learning quickly.  Thanks for making it bearable.  Keep up the great work!

-Andrew F.

I am so pleased with this great aid to learning. I have long wanted to know the notes I am singing at a glance, tonight at Choir practice I will know them! I have learned the Treble Clef with your aid and now to bass clef and other helpful music knowledge.

-Susan J.

As an Adult Learner returning to music after quite a few years I found your product wonderful.  My Father drilled me with flash cards as a child.  Many products currently on the market are geared to children and are game-like.  Your product is challenging and provides meaningful/helpful feedback and allows me to track my progress.

-Fallon C.

I'm one of those people who "play by ear" and have always wanted to learn to read music.  With the repetition of flash cards in a slick interface, learning becomes a game.  The note names become like reading another language with understanding!  Thank you!

-Sherri A

Congratulations on developing a very clever piece of software - it is a great learning tool.

-Joe S.

I just purchased Noteable and unlocked it.  I love your program. it is very helpful to my daughter (piano student) and myself (grew up playing treble clef instruments and now need to read bass clef for bass guitar).

-Patrick M. 

 

Your program is a great learning tool as is and way ahead of anything else on the market

-Andrew N.

I have been playing guitar for thirty seven years and must admit that this is the first flashcard program I have found that will be useful to my students.

-Noteable User

I certainly see the potential for the software you have developed in helping people to learn how to read music.

-Peter L.

My daughter loves the software.

-Naomi

I've recently decided to learn Classical Guitar which meant setting aside learning by ear and actually learning to read music notation.  This is a monumental task for me.  I envisioned software that did exactly what your software does - and thankfully, I found Noteable.  I've gone through about 30 quick excercises and already my instructor is amazed at how I've improved.  I'm actually starting to read music.  I really couldn't have done this easily and quickly without your software.  I truly appreciate the work you've put into Noteable.  Now, my daughter is going to start learning to read music with your software.

-Lee D.

Your software is great! I use it a lot at work, especially when I'm bored.  Keep up the good work!!!

-Bob D.

Once upon a time I was a pretty serious musician/composer many...many years ago... but somehow got sidetracked and lost touch with it all and forgot most of what I once had.  Now I'm getting back into music all over again, but this time as an old guy with a slightly fuzzier brain at this point.  Hopefully your very cool program should help me get certain fundamental aspects of my music reading skills back up to speed quickly and painlessly.  I am especially pleased to find something like this that is not necessarily only "kid stuff" oriented.  Your program just gets right down to the real training process without a lot of extraneous fluff.  Anyway, thanks again for making such USEFUL and WELL DESIGNED software available at such reasonable cost to help real people with something that really is important!

-David G.

Cool program.

Jon O.

I'm certain to enjoy the software.  I have enjoyed the 24-day demo.  As a student who started to read music at the age of 40, I need all the help I can get!  Thanks again.

-Neall

Noteable is great!  Very much enjoyed the shareware download to-date and very much looking forward to using the full release.  Congratulations.

-Rex N.

Very cool program.  Should help quite a bit with my reading abilities.  Thanks!

-Paul K.

Its really neat software.  I am enjoying using your program.

-Robert R.

I downloaded your demo virtual flash card software and liked it very much.

-Richard H

I broke down and did the PayPal thing I liked the software so much.  It is great while traveling. I can really drill myself while on the plane or locked up late at night in the hotel room.

-Greg

[I'm] real excited about my new program. [I'm] looking to have [many] happy hours with you. I am 56 and got my first keyboard and [guitar] two [months] ago.  [I have] never played or read music before. Thanks.

-Trish B.

Notable is extremely useful.  I'm very pleased with the product.

-Doris B.

Noteable is a useful and excellent piece of software.  I'm using it for myself and to teach my wife and kids.  I've already noticed that I'm having an easier time sight reading after having used Noteable for only a few days.

-Dave D.

I really like your work on noteable.  Program works great.

-Jake

Thank you for you kind concern and help in attaining this program that will be so valuable in my music education.  I truly appreciate you.

-Laurie T.

Awesome product, incredibly useful for revision since I'm re-learning to read music after a 20 year break.

-Shaun H.

I was looking for a program that would help me learn music notation.  Your program is exactly the learning tool that I was looking for. Thanks!

-Anthony F.

Your trial version helped me so much, and I know I will get even better with time now that I have the full version.  Once again, thank you so much!
