Lala Kalimba: Learn & Play

A practice app that shows only the songs your own instrument can play, in easy number notation with the staff above it. Learn melodies note by note on a kalimba, a steel tongue drum, a xylophone or a lyre harp. ■ Scores for your instrument • Kalimba (17 or 21 keys), steel tongue drum (8 or 15 notes), xylophone (up to 25 notes with sharps), lyre harp (16 or 19 strings) • Choose your instrument's tuning, or type its notes, and the library shows the songs it can play • Songs outside its range are moved by whole octaves, and songs with only one or two sharps get an easy arrangement ■ Four ways to practise • Listen first: hear the melody and learn the numbers and sounds • Play along: press the lit key and the next note waits for you, at your own pace • Rhythm practice: play in time and get an accuracy score, with each note shown on the score as on the beat, early, late or missed • Rhythm play: notes come down where the score was — hit the key with the same number as each one reaches its circle, for points, combos and stars; each song keeps its best ■ A library of 261 pieces Children's songs, folk songs from around the world, classical themes, carols and first exercises — all melodies whose copyright has expired. How many your instrument can play depends on it (for example 208 on a 17-key kalimba, 251 on a chromatic xylophone). ■ Also • Staff and number notation together (1 = C) • Play the instrument on screen or with a computer keyboard • Start timer, tempo control, finished songs and favourites • One-screen practice on phones (upright or sideways), tablets and foldables • 41 languages • Practise without an internet connection
