App Guides
How to use every app we make. Each guide covers what the app does, every control it has, and how to work with it — written against the build the app is actually running.
Keep time
- Pulse Pocket MetronomeA metronome you can read: a different subdivision on every beat, with counting and stickings printed underneath.
- Tempo LadderOne controlled slow–fast–slow climb on material you bring yourself.
- Click DropAlternating measures of click and silence, so you find out what your internal time really does.
Read and build notation
- Grid BoardA classroom timing grid built in seconds and sized for the projector.
- Rhythm RepperBuild one measure from correctly notated cells, then loop it against a check.
- Count ItSee the rhythm, say the count. Three levels, from the pulse to sixteenth-note cells.
- Eight TimeRead and count 3/8, where the eighth note is the beat, with whole-measure practice and challenges.
- Staff SpotName the note, or place it: treble, bass and mixed-clef staff reading with nine four-level Teaching Sequences and printable worksheets.
Train your hands

- Mallet MapSee the note, find the bar — note reading on the instrument’s own layout.
- Drum MapTimpani setup as a puzzle — assign the pitches, then plan the changes.
