Notes from the creator

A personal note on why this app exists

My 7 year old actually thanks me for helping him understand the fingerboard.

I built this as an amateur violinist desperately wanting to help my son read music easily.

My hope is within a few weeks it clicks for your child too and they can start enjoying playing more.
