Useful Music Apps

Whether you are just learning to read music, or you are an advanced musician, there are lots of iPhone, iPad, and Android apps that can help you. And, if you are a teacher, particularly if your students are in the "younger generations," you really need to know your apps. In 2016 I asked the readers of my monthly e-mail newsletters to send me their favorite apps for musicians, and for those learning to read music. These were featured in my August 2016 newsletter.  In March 2019, I decided it was time to update the list. And so, I asked my readers again to send in their favorites. This list is a compilation of all of their suggestions. Some of these apps are free, others cost a few dollars, and many have both free and more complete paid versions. All of these apps are for iPhones and iPads, and most are also available for Android.
