Figurenotes is the best thing I've come across in over 40 years of teaching music
Nothing translates as easily as Figurenotes.
It's just so obvious that it works!
I am loving Figurenotes and so are my pupils. They completely get the rhythms because they are intuitive
A huge hit with the students! They didn’t need any explanation as to how it worked. They could straight away just start following the music and playing on the keyboards!
Figurenotes has been a game-changer for me
Figurenotes is the best way to go. It's very inclusive. I haven't come across anything else that comes near it.
I am so impressed with Figurenotes. Such a simple concept, yet so effective. Thank you!
Figurenotes is not just a good notation system, it is life-changing.
