User Reviews for Tone - Learn Perfect Pitch!
Perfect Pitch? It’s All Relative
Studies have suggested that we’re all born with at least the possibility of developing perfect pitch, and that it’s also an inheritable trait. Some of us have it right out of the box, while others have to work at it. Maybe, like foreign languages, if you start too late, you may never be completely perfect. And yet: What a great app! Before this, the only way to practice like this would have been to pay someone (or coerce a talented friend) to sit at a piano and play intervals and chords for you. Any pianist would suffer boredom doing it for 30 minutes straight, and they’d also start making mistakes. This app, instead, can help you keep your focus until YOU start to tire, and it has sometimes held my attention for an hour or more at a time. While I have yet to actually develop true perfect pitch, my overall sense is definitely improved. Fully perfect pitch still seems just out of reach, but maybe eventually I’ll get there. In the meantime, my relative pitch has improved tremendously, along with my general musicianship. This is an amazing tool for any musician. The younger you are to start this the better. But this writer is 62 years old and still finding it to be a great benefit.
It's an incredible app but 99$ per year?
Anybody that studies/performs music knows you can just get tenuto for 4 dollars and it has way more functionality and lessons then this app... (Only 3 exercises for 99$ a year? Not even close to tenuto). If you are not into music theory and just want to play auraly (by ear) tenuto is still BY FAR the better option because you have all 3 exercises that the tone app has (pitch, chord, and interval identification) AND scale training with basic aural keyboard training to boot. I also assume anybody that wants to auraly learn also wants to play either the guitar or piano which TENUTO HAS. Practice exersizes like aural fret/key identification as well as chords, intervals, and scale identication are all included within tenuto. On top of that the company that makes tenuto has a sight that you can access this information FOR FREE. So why spend money on this subscription when you quite literally can get more for less. I'll give 1 star for excellent design but this is a rip off.
AMAZING 100%
So this game is just what the title says it is. It doesn’t have any in app purchases as far as I can tell, and I don’t have any trouble with getting it to work. You don’t need anything else like headphones or anything. It is just perfection. I really like games like this one just because they don’t glitch out, or they don’t have a bunch of adds. In this game, I haven’t seen any adds so far which is a super good sign! This game is a game that just makes me happy. Like it not only is fun, but it is a good helper for singing or playing an instrument!!!! I really love this because it shows you stuff, and it’s super fun to do with or without friends. It’s a great time consumer. It lets you know about different tones and how that stuff works. And it looks really cool when you play. I love the time running out thing too. Like when the time plays and the light is going down, I like that. So all in all, get this game kids, or adults or anything, because it is worth it and it’s free.
Sneaky marketing.
I like the idea of pitch memory rather than perfect pitch. Being able to rely on yourself instead of available or non available musical instruments which may or may not be in tune.... of course A as 440 is a 20th century construct versus a 380 A in say, Bach’s day. Good relative pitch would suffice in many instances. While pitch memory is indispensable to a professional or ambitious amateur/ student. I wonder if the price isn’t discouragingly high for someone NOT making money in some portion of the industry. Three weeks of the subscription price would buy a pitch pipe as easily carry-able as a cell phone and without the problems of batteries running low. Maybe engineers, doctors and mechanics could do with perfect pitch but 1) they have machines for those diagnostics and 2) it’s an AMAZING mechanic who can diagnose an engine defect by sound. I like this idea but I’m frankly annoyed by the cost. (Not that programmers shouldn’t be paid but with a few well functioning apps and they can get a high paying software gig making more money than the best paid professional artists). I’m happy to concede the point if you can explain.... There should be theory, notation and a pitch finding function in the app for that price. Also NB this is all and only for western music and half tone scales. MUCH harder to hear for the western trained ear is Easter European and or African quarter tone scales. If someone could offer to train me to hear That, I’d pay good money for it.
This might work!
I’ve only tried this for 5 minutes, but I want to do more. It starts with buttons for C, D, E, F & G on screen. To begin, touch a button to play a tone. A waveform appears as the note is sounded. As you hear the tone, you select its letter name. If you were wrong the screen turns red and the correct name appears. If you were right the screen turns green, the correct name appears and a new sound plays. If you succeed, a third tone is sounded, and so on. Soon you are paying attention to intervals. With more trials, visual feedback of the correct name flashing reinforces name and tone correlation. The green color feedback reinforces making a correct response, and negative red feedback cautions and hopefully inhibits you from repeatedly selecting that choice again. Soon you’re hearing the tones in your head. And naming them. I like this so far. We’ll see how much progress occurs after a week’s free trial. I’ll update the review then.
This app is kind of useful, but perfect pitch is not a teachable skill.
Perfect pitch is something some of us we’re fortunate, or unfortunate, to be given at birth. While I do admit it is helpful being able to sign and note by name at the correct pitch, and it’s also great for songwriting.. it’s also a curse sometimes. It’s almost unbearable to attend live performances the majority of the time because we can’t just “not hear” every note the artist or band painfully plays or sings just a little pitched up or down. While everyone around me is just gleefully singing along and enjoying the “raw” aspect of the live performance, I am cringing at every minor vocal pitch mistake.. or that one backup guitar player who’s A string is inadvertently out of tune a half the entire time. It’s hard to explain, but the impact of these little “mistakes” gets far more attention from my perfect pitched brain than the rest of the music. So, maybe just enjoy not having perfect pitch be part of who you are. It’s not that great, all things considered.
Cute, but... cute
First of all, many people debate whether perfect pitch can be learned after the age of about 6. But there is a decent amount of literature claiming otherwise, and at this point one could find there is a trope to learning it as an adult. One of the main tenants of any practice of it, though, is constant, regular, long-form practice. Like, daily 30-minute intent practice over 10 years. That said, this app doesn’t do that, at least not in its methodology. Maybe it could work with regular, 30-min practice over many years, but the app isn’t robust enough to incite that sort of commitment out of it.As it is, it’s an excellent relative-pitch practice device. The main issue is that, once the user hears the first pitch of their practice session, the rest of the pitches from that point on are heard in relation to the first one — thus ‘relative’ pitch. The only way this could really be used for perfect pitch practice is to try at only the first pitch when you open the app, then put it away for 30 mins, listen to other stuff, then come back and try it again, over and over and over.FWIW, it IS still really great as an on-the-go ear training gismo. I’ve already thought about having my students use it, as it is very simple but has many options for scales etc. I have my doctorate in music composition, so I think about this stuff a lot. Thanks for the app regardless!
Useful for those who play and learn by ear!
As someone who has grown up around music but never had the focus to learn an instrument or sheet music, I’ve gotten by with more or less the guessing of notes and tone. However as I have an interest in learning and playing piano, being able to pick out and identify specific notes as opposed to an ambiguous melody is a challenge without learning to identify the sounds and their placement by sheet. I saw tone recommended recently and figured there was nothing to lose and more to gain, so I downloaded it and was extremely pleased with the simple yet fun way the app helps you memorize notes and tone. It’s a super simple game, and it’s a little repetitive, but personally I don’t find that a dealbreaker (heck, I can always take a break if it’s getting boring!) My only complaint is that I wish the settings were easier for my inexperienced self to understand. When I checked the settings to see how I could configure the lesson/game, my eyes started to glaze over trying to understand what it meant. I would so, so love a little mini tutorial of how to work the settings and other things like that little table of notes (idk what that does?? I’ve messed around with it and saw no change, so I’m not sure if I’m getting what that does...) That way I could use this app even more to its potential! I would really recommend this for those learning music!
Two thumbs up 👍👍
Amazing app for learning music note and chord recognition. You feel like you’re not learning anything at first but then you return to the piano the next day and subconsciously you’ve been building skills you never thought possible! The only feature I’d suggest from the app maker is for them to allow you to use your own instrument to answer in response to pitch or chord cues; eg if it plays and asks you to guess a certain tone (eg F sharp) the mic listens for you to (correctly) play back a note on the piano and gives you credit. The advantage of this feature is hat he learning would be more closely linked to your own instrument of choice 🎹
Please fix the glitch!!!
I appreciate that there is a 7 day trial for this, BUT I think the $99 (for a year) price tag is a little greedy—especially when the developer(when introduced in the app) writes about his love of music and wanting to help others feel the same and achieve their musical goals. Despite the high price I am willing to pay because I am a singer and I’m trying to learn piano. It means a lot to me to be able to recognize notes by sound and to read music.Since installing the app a few days ago I have been encountering an extremely frustrating glitch that is both frustrating and discouraging. I open the app, click on practice or learn and the app immediately closes. The only fix that I’ve found for this is to uninstall and reinstall the app. As you may agree this is RIDICULOUS. Am I going to want to practice knowing that when I try, the app will close repeatedly until I uninstall and reinstall? The short answer is no, and I’m certainly not going to pay $100 for this aggravation. It’s extremely disappointing too, because the app itself is great and deserves 5 stars. I hope the development team sees this review and I hope they fix this extremely annoying glitch because I can’t take it anymore. If it gets fixed I’ll stick with it. Please fix!
