Ratings and reviews

Thanks to part and full playback ability of PlayScore 2, I am able to teach choir parts even though I do not play the piano fluently. I've tried other applications, but PlayScore 2 works way better, is easy to use and easy for my students to use with the free playback ability. I started teaching music because there was no one else in our rural area to teach it. I love music, and I'm thankful to bring music education to our 420 students, Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Kinda sucks, I take a picture of the music perfectly and it still plays the rhythms wrong... Also have you tried maybe adding more instrument sounds?? Like drums? That would make this app better, but still it won't read the music right. And don't try to blame my phone because I checked the picture and it looked perfectly readable, it's just your app not being able to read the music.

Worked right away and so well I was so surprised... The only problem is I needed an app that would help me remember how to read it. I read sheet music but I'm way out of practice and it would take me hours to decipher each line and I was hoping that maybe this app would label the notes so I could learn them again... Sadly I don't play by ear yet. But it's primary function worked really well.
