Wow, I just discovered that when playing Notationist, if you have your piano attached C4 corresponds with unison, D4 with 2ed, E4 with 3rd and so on. I was always struggling with the mouse to click the correct difference on time.

Yep. It's like finding easter eggs, I guess. MIDI controller can be used the way you described also on Bassonist and the whole Sight Reading section, both competitions and training. I wish it was implemented all around the website, though...

Why You Need to Learn a Second Instrument Right Now

When's the last time you picked up an instrument that wasn't your main one?

New on the blog: why learning a second instrument might be the best thing you do for your playing this year. Better timing, deeper musicality, even a break for your body from repetitive strain.

Guitarists picking up harmonica, drummers sitting at a piano, singers learning the basics of a corded instrument. It all feeds back into what you already play.

@BetoOjeda, creo que es hora de que se grabe jugando. Hay algo más allá del oído para estos puntajes. Yo quiero ver la técnica de digitación también, y qué teclado usa.... 72 puntos es una marcianada.

Now I’m curious how the Apple Magic Keyboard ‘shortcuts’ work. I typically point and click using the mouse or directly on iPad. Is there a section in Tone Gym that explains this or are folks just setting up their own shortcuts?

@Ken Wilkens If you usually play these games on a computer, a small section should appear before you start that shows you the shortcuts for each game. Just check them and make sure they work properly on your keyboard. This allows for much faster reaction times compared to a cell phone or an iPad in the Progressions game.
