Learn the violin from zero: finger positions, lessons, songs and a live mic.
Violin GR teaches you to play the violin from zero, the fun way: follow the sheet music and the fingerboard chart, play your own violin and let the app listen through the microphone. You get a detailed score after every piece, and points, streaks and achievements keep you going.
🎻 LEARN THE VIOLIN FROM ZERO
• A path of 10 lessons that unlock one after another: the four strings and the bow, the open strings, reading the staff, the first fingers, the D major scale, sharps and flats, and the higher positions
• A quiz at the end of every lesson: pick the right finger position, name the note from the chart, read the staff and play it
• Note values, rests and rhythm with the metronome
• A fingerboard diagram for every note from G3 to E7: string, finger and hand position
🎤 THE MICROPHONE LISTENS TO YOU, FOR FREE
• Play your violin: the app recognises the notes and checks that they are the right ones
• It copes with a violin that is not perfectly tuned to A = 440
• Best in a quiet room and with headphones, so the microphone does not pick up the app's own sounds
• No violin at hand? Use the on-screen note buttons
🎯 THREE PRACTICE MODES
• Learn: the music waits until you play the right note
• Play: play in time and earn points
• Listen: hear the piece and follow the score
📊 SCORES AND STATS
• Accuracy, points, max combo, stars and a grade (S to D)
• Timing chart (early or late) and accuracy measure by measure
🏆 GAMIFICATION
• Experience points and levels, daily streak and daily goal
• 21 achievements and a challenge of the day with double XP
• New pieces unlock as you collect stars
