NineKeys

This is an application for helping to learn to read music.

There are quite a lot of sight reading practice applications for Android but none of them provided the features I wanted. NineKeys was initially written to satisfy my requirements. I wanted a better way to identify which areas of my sight reading were weakest and for the program to adapt to help correct those weaknesses.

A major part of learning is the feedback process and being shown in which areas your knowledge is lacking. This was a major influence in the design of the statistics display.

The statistics page overlays the staff with bar showing your percentage score for each note and  shows clearly which notes are giving you the most problems.

The application operates in various modes and you can select which stave and note variations (sharps or flats) are included. The system uses an adaptive question algorithm to assist your progress (a hangover from my research work on Computer Aided Assessment)
