User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Very Good but...
Glad I found a learn the instruments program with real sounds and real looking instruments!
It is almost 5 stars, but
Please, viola is pronounced vee-o-la! And the viola excerpt really could be better - reminds me of a viola joke...
And please make the initial sound samples when the instrument is in a group a little longer, and add at least the English horn and piccolo.
It would be nice to also have contrabassoon, bass clarinet and a few more percussion.
Also in the US a cello is called a cel
★★★☆☆Saxophone is not a brass instrument...
Decent app, but saxophone is a woodwind instrument, not a member of the brass family...
★★★★★Thumbs up from pre-schoolers
I used this app in my pre-school music class as an introduction to our 5-week study of the orchestra - they loved it and so did I! It was slightly difficult for them to see because of the a glare on the screen, but after we dimmed the classroom lights, it was clearly visible.
★★★★★As entertaining as it is educational
Works great on my two first generation iPads. My four and six year olds both love it. Great music selections, games. Sure bet. If it's crashing, try restarting your iPad.
★★★★☆Pretty Good
This app works pretty well. I'm using it with students in my classroom learning orchestra families, and they are able to hear and see the different instruments in the orchestra.
I'm looking forward to using the games, but unfortunately they don't do me any good until I have finished teaching all the instrument families. I would love to be able to select just a few instruments to quiz over so I can use the games before teaching all the families. I suppose that would be my only request.
