![]() The only other app that comes to my mind that shows the pitch that is played is Magic Stave MIDI Recorder (or Magic Stave Free), but that app isn't a “tuner first,” are still iPhone apps (universal iOS versions are coming), and the free version is ad supported. The unique element of this app is that it is a tuner that visually shows the pitch that is being played on the staff ( with transposition in mind), unlike other tuners that show only the frequency. Download it, turn it on, and go with your lesson. In other words, Bandmate is an app that you can use on your first day of beginning band / orchestra with basically no explanation or set up time from the teacher.

Since launching in August, it has had over 36,000 downloads. It is a chromatic tuner that displays your note on a music staff. It is free, with no ads so it is safe for classroom use.

It doesn't take that long to reach out to us). There are four of five blogs that discuss apps for music education, and all of us link to each other. Every now and then, I get an e-mail from a developer about their app (as a note, when the e-mail comes from the developer and not a PR firm, it makes me more likely to pay attention to the app.
