This is an updated app from when I gave it only one star...when I first got it, I was using it on an iPad and when trying to reset the stats, the app would crash.
I contacted the developer and he was fantastically responsive to my concerns! He immediately went into high gear and found the problem...fixed it...and issued an update!
All the while...he kept in touch with me, letting me know when it had been fixed and when the update was live so I could re download it.
Aural Wiz Plus is exactly the app I need with my music students! I have quite a few students and ear training is SO important. It makes for a better musician whether you play an external instrument or use your voice.
Aural Wiz Plus is the best ear training app I have on my iPad. I have several, but this one is the best. I can set it up like a game, which all my students love. It's not just a dry exercise, it's fun and they work hard to beat their stats from the last time.
I give them a goal each lesson...I make it easy so they can easily reach it, but each week the goal is a little harder. They progress so well with this app and it's their favorite ear training app!
I discovered this app along with an app called "Music Tutor " which is the perfect app for tightening up sight reading!
Both those apps together are absolutely a must for the modern studio. You can buy them together, which I highly recommend. I bought them separately and paid a bit more, but that's fine. I will get much more than I paid for with the steady progress of my students.
My students come for an hour..a half hour apart. The first half hour is on the computer or iPad, using various music games or apps. The 2 most used in my studio are Music Tutor and Aural Wiz Plus. I have another that helps test their rhythm knowledge having to guess the tempo of a metronome.
10 minutes on each of Aural Wiz Plus, Music Tutor and one other of either the rhythm trainer or a game of their choice, makes me see a vast improvement of their listening, reading and rhythmic skills. As one is at the piano, the next student is at the iPad or computer.
I highly recommend Aural Wiz Plus along with Music Tutor to any music teacher or music student! Some of my older students have already downloaded one or more of these apps to use daily at home and the results have been nothing short of astounding. A few minutes each day makes incredible progress.
I'm going to be using them in my studio setting, but also recommending or requiring their use by all my students. Most students either have an iPhone or iPad or a parent who does. 5 minutes a day on the app you assign for that week can make incredible strides for them. The parent brings in the iPhone or iPad to the lesson and I set up the parameters for them for that student. When they come back a week later, the student knows their notes or their listening skills broadened.
Great work! You've made my studio better, more efficient and my students love the challenge. The modern piano studio or music studio of any kind, should definitely have these apps!
Thanks for fixing the glitch with the stats so quickly!
