KLearnNotes2 - Introduction

KLearnNotes2

KLearnNotes2 helps learning music notes names.

It includes

  • a neat interface

  • a wise quick learning algorithm (focusing training on what a student knows worse)

  • a flexible exercise choice and a set of preset exercises focused on gradual learning of successive notes

  • bass and treble clefs

  • a flexible speed goal choice and a set of preset speed-goal levels (to encourage training for fast, automatic notes reading)

  • sound output choice: standard, for guitar players or custom

QT/KDE/midi through /dev/sequencer if available;

Perfect for a music newbie and for an experienced musician trying to learn new staff (for example a new staff ;).

Motivation:

I have had played the guitar for a long time, but I still had problems with quick recognition of very high and very low notes in a treble clef. Recently I started singing in a choir. Being a bass, I got bass-clef scores. Again learning which note comes where was a challenge.

When I saw Dominik Seichter's klearnnotes I thought it was a really good idea to use a computer to teach me all this staff. Unfortunately Seichter's klearnnotes had exactly what I knew and didn't have what I wanted to learn. This is where KLearnNotes2 stems from.
