More tunes are on the way, and these tools, in roughly this order:

  1. Sheet music to tab. Paste a tune in ABC or MusicXML and get fiddle tab back: string letter and finger number for every note.
  2. Play-along tutor. Play into the microphone while the music scrolls by. Each note lights up when it’s in tune and on time.
  3. Learn to read music. Short daily lessons that tie every note on the staff to a string and a finger, ending with a whole tune.
