Hi Team
My whole purpose of purchasing yousician is to prepare myself for professional playing and expertising the sight reading. But seems I can't achive it as per the current setup/control. Please enable more control to the player.

A) Player must be able to switch off the bouncing ball. In the realworld you don't have a bouncing ball on sight reading.

B) Also please enable screen to display more Bars at a time. Usually it shows approximately 2 bars at a time.
May be you could provide option to the player to select how many bars he could see at a time, At least when you play the app on Laptop/Tab. The player must learn the counting and progress through the bars correctly, In the real world no body is showing which Bar to be played now.

The combination of A & B it makes real world envirnment/feeling that you play with a band/other musicians and correctly following the sight reading.
Thank you

In practice mode, users can move the playback start and end cursors to a section that needs practice. At least on an iPad, actually doing this is a bit janky though: dragging a cursor often also moves the current play head, a user needs to move both the start and end cursor, and the score is shifting as the cursors move.

So, how about a one-click/one-touch way to select a section that's significantly worse (Ie, more red) than the surrounding measures? If I touch a red section of a song, re-center the playback cursors around that part without making me drag them. I'd propose selecting the mostly-red measures plus one measure on either side.

Yousician could be a great way to practice reading notation. However, none of the articulation is indicated on the notation.

Bad enough when there is no indication for hammer-ons or pull-offs, but bends just show as the parent note, so there's no way to read them at all in notation.

Even when reading in the STD+TAB setting this can mess you up, if you're trying to get the rhythm from the notation, and articulations are only notated in the tablature.

For that matter, it would be a great help if the rhythms were shown in TABLATURE mode.

Be a pro and fix this!

Dear Yousician

Congratulations on developing an outstanding product. Every year I tell students, teachers, school leaders, governors, parents and other musicians about your services with rigor and passion.

Many products for schools have multi user licenses available. Yousician is a superb and cost effective product with many admirable features however, I feel we may be choosing to miss a trick here which will undoubtedly make Yousician the most powerful practical teaching resource for a diverse range of students.

Yousician is adaptive when teaching 1to1 but when teaching a class of 30 through a single profile, it is adapting to some average ability of the class when we know that any given class may have a remarkable range of abilities due to a variety of factors. While other schemes that do allow students to progress at their own rate encourage independent learning at all levels - no student gets left behind and no student is left waiting for others to catch up.

Hence the need for/and the incredible value of multi-user licenses.

I do understand that £9-£12/month is significantly cheaper than paying for 1to1 lessons and that there has to be a 1to1 buy in at some stage. If a student wishes to progress on their own then they must pay for their tuition. And the difference in running cost between 500-600 individual student licenses compared to a single 50% discounted teacher license makes it very clear that adaptive teaching is not your priority, yet as a teacher, I feel it is your most powerful feature and as far as I can see (and I look every year without fail), you're not selling it.

I propose adding an annual multi user license agreement to your product list - if only so I may buy it for my 560 students (in an area of high deprivation) and report back on the staggering progress we all know they will make. This can only make good business sense as undoubtedly some of these students will go on to buy their own licenses for continued home use, securing further year on year growth for your company.

Where the class room service you provide is currently exciting, I ask can it not be exceptional?

Yours most sincerely,
Malcolm Gayner
