Musify.See a sample

The only beginner music course that teaches you to read music once, then plays it on your own instrument.

Written by a working teacher. For adults starting out, players returning after years, self-taught players who play by ear, choir and theatre singers, and children whose parent signs them up. Voice and violin included.
