If you haven't checked out part one, with apps geared towards younger students, definitely check it out! Now I present the scoop on apps for students around age 10 and up. All apps are free, some have in-app purchases available.
App: Berliner Philharmoniker
The Scoop: This app is wonderful! There are archived videos of performances of the Berlin Phil, as well as live streaming. Another perk are the music documentaries and movies, and all for free. In order to use the app fully, you have to create a login, or use your Facebook login, which is what I did. There is a section specifically for kids as well. The bottom line is if you want a safe place for students and their families to check out high quality classical concerts and videos then this is a great option.
App: iClassical Scores
The Scoop: This app lets you search and download public domain sheet music scores, and individual parts for classical rep. If you don't want to carry around stacks of sheet music, this is a great option. The app allows you to digitalize the music you already own, and it loads onto the app for safe keeping. It's also nice if you're wanting to sight read or try out music you don't already own. There is also an option to download from dropbox. If you own a bluetooth foot pedal, the option is there to hook it up to use that will allow turning pages without stopping to swipe the screen. This is a great app for student and professional musicians. I've also used it in a pinch when a student forgot their music. :)
App: Tonara
The Scoop: This takes the idea behind iClassical Scores to the next level, but mostly for piano. There is a small collection for string instruments and vocal, but again, piano gets the largest benefit with a larger selection of music, and the fact that this app began with pianists in mind. One of my favorite features is Tonara allows you to draw on screen in the music. So if you need to circle that decrescendo or highlight those chord changes, then go for it. Another big draw is the fact that it "listens" to you play, and automatically turns the pages. You can download free music from classical to contemporary and pop, or upload your own music from email, DropBox and Google Drive.
App: WriteChord, ChordEarTraining, and WriteInterval
The Scoop: These three apps in a music theory training series are wonderful for college musicians needing to brush up, or for teaching and tutoring music students. The apps are a simplified and mobile version of what the popular website Teoria does, but without the need for an internet connection, and it is of course more hands-on.
App: Cadenza
The Scoop: I just downloaded this app tonight, but I cannot wait to try it out. Cadenza takes the idea of the popular Music Minus One series and makes it mobile. Cadenza is sponsered by Shar, a music catalogue company. This app provides the solo player with a backing orchestra to play along. Cadenza is designed to adjust to your tempo and so forth. Currently Cadenza is available for a few orchestra instruments, there is no option for pianists at this time. Currently the music catalogue is limited, but they offer a mix of well-known classic rep free and for purchase and people have made suggestions for music they would like added. I can only assume the company will make regular updates. There is a Cadenza community that's available to join, but I haven't done so as yet.
Music friends, what do you think of these apps? Are there any apps you use that aren't on the list? Feel free to share and comment!
