Hop to It! A Piano Adventure App

This week's app is the Hop to It! A Piano Adventure app:

Hop to It! A Piano Adventure (https://hoptoitapp.com/). An interval is the distance between two notes; recognizing different intervals plays a big part in reading music, especially for pianists; app is designed to help pianists develop this aspect of their music reading skills; students will begin to make the connection from patterns of notes on the music staff to keys on the piano keyboard; young students and those just getting started can begin with lessons covering the very basics of line and space notes, up and down on the staff vs. up and down on the piano keyboard, and steps and skips; as student progresses, they are introduced to larger intervals up to an octave; as each new level is mastered, the student can review it in practice mode and then be challenged in a fun and fast-paced game; game component tests fluency in reading intervals; amusing obstacles such as an impatient shark, easily-annoyed jellyfish, sinking lily pads, bad weather, and a loud, distracting opera diva require the student to concentrate even harder and decipher the notes more rapidly; tool for young, pre-reading students to get used to how notes move higher and lower on the staff vertically and how that translates to a horizontal movement on the piano keys; tutorials and practice exercises allow students as much time as needed to think about their responses; game levels introduce fun, non-musical obstacles that require a more focused concentration; older students will also benefit from the drilling of larger intervals and will be challenged by the more difficult levels of the game; (iOS 15.0 or later).
