Musician's Kit

Musician's Kit is a really handy app available for download for iOs devices. It's most resounding feature is that it bundles all of the practical resources for a practicing musician into one app. Previously, I have had a piano app for find pitches, a metronome app, and a recording app. With Musician's Kit, I can not only play a pitch, but can listen to a pitch and tune it. This is super helpful for me as an educator, but also for students practicing on their own.

The metronome feature is awesome because you can either set a predetermined metronome marking, or you can physically tap your phone screen at the desired tempo. Then, Musician's Kit will show you a numerical marking of what your tapped tempo is. This is SO handy when you aren't sure of your tempo, but you know how fast you are supposed to go.

Finally, you can record and store your practice sessions right there in the same app as everything else. It's just like one-stop shopping. This is something that would be beneficial for teachers to suggest to their students to download individually, or to download onto a class set of iPads for sure!

  1. I can see that there is a great possibilities introduced by this app. Learners can practice in their own time, record what they practiced, and bring it to class so the teacher can listen, correct and give some feedback. This will save a lot of time, and will enable teachers to help more students than before!

  3. Hi Liana,
    I play piano since I was little , I still remember my parents spend lots of money on my metronome. But after read your blog, seems the practicing become more easy nowadays, and these apps have multiple functions than just metronome, also cost less, it's really good for music learners, I guess the technology really change the way people learning.
