GOLD WINNER OF USA & UK 2015 APP DESIGN AWARDS FOR "BEST FAMILY APP."
MAKING VIOLIN PRACTICE EASIER
Created by violin teachers and performers, MyOngaku is a licensed video practice aid for the Suzuki® Method designed to help beginning Suzuki violin students and their parents make the most of practice time. Used along with Suzuki Violin School, Volume 1 sheet music, MyOngaku helps students stay in time, play the right notes, and maintain correct posture, rhythm, fingering and bowing. Students can listen and watch as accomplished musicians perform the music, then imitate how a piece sounds and looks. They can play along to sections of music at a slow tempo, then play along to the complete piece at an intermediate tempo.
HOW IT WORKS
Simply point the camera of your device at your Suzuki sheet music page.* MyOngaku instantly recognizes the page and provides immediate access to video demonstrations by professional violinists playing the specific pieces of music on that page. Just tap an “MyO” icon to view a video.
CONTENT FEATURES
- Includes over 500 high quality video demonstrations designed to facilitate learning and playing along.** Choose from short sections of music performed at a slow tempo and complete pieces performed at an intermediate tempo.
- Select from performances by three talented Violin Volume 1 performers: Amelia Gold, Dan Dery and Koen Rens. Choose one musician to watch and learn, or watch performances by all three for a broader perspective and style diversity.
- Videos include key learning points for the music to help focus student practice.
- Note-by-note annotation provides note names and fingering to help learn and play the right notes.***
- A front performer view synchronized with an in-set finger view allows easy observation of both bowing and fingering, and provides a visual reference for posture, finger placement, and bow hold, strokes, and directions.
