App Description

Teachers, students and professional musicians: Work on your rhythmic and polyrhythmic skills. Develop better hand independence with two lines of rhythms. From very simple to nearly impossible. Sight reading rhythms won't be a problem anymore. Includes a 'Grade Book' list of all saved results that you can print or send.

Customize:
• Time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 or 5/4.
• Number of measures: 4 to 16.
• One or two lines of rhythms.
• One, two, or three pitches per line.
• With or without rests.
• Any combination of note/rest values you want: Whole, Half, Quarter, Eighth, Sixteenth, Dotted Half, Dotted Quarter, Dotted Eighth, Triplet Half, Triplet Quarter, and Triplet Eighths.
• Exclude grading note durations to better test percussionists or to focus on accuracy alone.
• Listen to the rhythm before and after you attempt playing it.
• Tempo 30 to 150 bpm. The required accuracy of attacks and sustains changes with the tempo selected, so if you slow down the rhythm, you need to be more accurate. Likewise, faster tempos will give you a bigger 'window' but it'll be going by faster.
• On/Off scrolling line of current location.

The Grade Book is filterable by name.
Grades include the name, date and time the quiz was taken, all relevant settings (note values included, rests, length, etc.), and score (percentage and letter grade).
