Random Note App
Hello and welcome to Random Note App. The goal of this app is to help you get more efficient with practicing your musical instrument through using randomly generated notes, chords and series. To do so, the app offers you two modes: „Random Note“ and „Rando Series“.
„Random Note“ creates a single note (in letters or treble clef), triad or 7th-chord at a time, with the possibility of listening to them, seeing the piano voicing that goes with them and moving on to the next note/chord.
„Random Series“ creates a series of notes (again in letters or treble clef), triads or 7th-chords, with the possibility of listening to them by clicking them.
Ok, now how do we use this for practicing?
There's a lot of ways you can use the Random Note App for practicing: Whether it's practicing finding single notes on your instrument or simple chord voicings on piano with „Random Note“ or practicing sightreading or doing all you scales and arpeggios in a random order with „Random Series“: There are many different ways in which you can improve your practicing efficiency using random notes.
Alright, and why exactly should we be doing this so randomly?
Scientific studies have shown that practicing the very same patterns without any variation over a long time is actually not very efficient and can even become detrimental to one's playing at some point.
This is where the Random Note App comes in! Instead of practicing our scales or arpeggies or [exercise of your choice] in the same order everytime (e.g. Cm arpeggio, C#m arpeggio, Dm arpeggio, Ebm arpeggio, etc.), we can use the app to generate a random order for us to practice, forcing our brain to adapt more and therefore learn more in the same amount of practice time!

A very useful app. It's helping me with my quest to learn all the notes on the guitar fret board. It would be great to have a timer to produce a new random note at say every 10 second interval. (Would be nice to have a selectable interval time for this to!)
This is exactly what i was looking for. Would be nice to be able to change from trebble clef to bass clef at some point since i am using it to practice with my bass but since im not at that level yet it is perfect for what i need at the moment
ATTENTION!! If you can make it to "play" random notes,, automatically,, and give me the option to not know what note this is,, this could revolutionize ear training for musicians.. please pleasseee make it happen.. very sorry about the 1 star i dont mean it its a great app, but just to get your attention
Works well. But it would be nice if it had a timer so that it could produce a series of notes, one every few seconds. Set that up and it gets five stars.
thanks, great app. It would be even better if it could also automatically play the notes in the series so I wouldnt have to take my hands off my instrument to hear the next one
To people who know why they would want this: Look past the design choices and this app is definitely worth it. Unless you can build something like this for yourself, I'd definitely recommend downloading this app to practice.
Really inconvenient cos I need to stop my playing and press "next". Autoplay feature is a must.
i dig this app. it's so... random. i use it for practicing
Simple to use app :)
Does what it says on the tin thanks
Almost what I need to practice unusual note sequences and thereby movement patterns and side reading on the ocarina. The only downside is that one can not set the note range and in the case of the ocarina the higher and lower notes are just out of the range of the instrument so I have to skip these. It would be great if you guys could implement a function that enables to set the range of notes used to generate a random sequence and chords. Thanks for this already very useful tool :)
