As each note is detected it is checked for tuning, highlighted in the scale you are playing and colour coded according to how in tune the note was. A rating of your performance is updated as you play. You can allocate scales to sets for practicing (e.g. for exam board grades) and you can select a random scale from any set or from all the scales to simulate exam conditions. Track your progress with historical reports for tuning and rating The built-in metronome with authentic "tock" allows you to pace you scale practice and build speed over time. There is also an accurate cello tuner that will highlight the string being played and provide graphical guidance on any re-tuning required. The app is very easy to use with a simple scroll wheel for selecting set, scale, type and number of octaves, so is suitable for cellists of any age. The app can optionally show a suggested finger pattern graphic for the scale with note labels and underneath the full scale is written out as sheet music. This means you can start to learn how to play the scale on the cello using the fingerboard graphic and see how this relates to the music notation. This is essential for building music reading ability. The app is highly configurable. The main screen can be maximised for displaying the scale by hiding the fingerboard graphic, pitch detection meter and rating widgets. The auto-rating feature can also be switched off allowing manual rating. The threshold used for assessing tuning accuracy is also adjustable allowing a high threshold for beginners and gradually lowering as intonation improves. Comprehensive help is provided within the app. The app does not require any internet or data connection, it has a small footprint on your device and there are no ads or in-app purchases. Scales are a fundamental component in music, you will find them everywhere. They are the foundations of so many cello playing skills: timing, intonation, key signatures, coordination, bow technique, sight reading, dexterity etc. Master your scales and you will have the foundation for cello greatness! Cello Scales Tutor is here to help you get there. Now, get practicing!
