JoyTunes Recorder Master App


This FREE app is for iPad!  Download now.


Recorder Master is a fascinatingly unique app – immersing your child in a wild-west cartoon, video game world filled with dangerous birds that must be defeated by playing…the recorder!  Your child can use a real recorder to play the game, or play it by touch by tapping and holding the notes on the screen.

Combining true game mechanics with direct teaching of notes, fingering positions, note lengths, melodies, playing by ear, breath control, and more – Recorder Master carefully moves from level to level – each filled with games designed to teach and encourage the practicing of recorder skills.


Each level contains a mix of games designed to teach vital skills every budding musician needs.    In the airplane game your child needs to play the specified note(s) to move the airplane up and down to collect the music notes.  In the bird melody game your child needs to ‘pop’ the birdies (of varying sizes to represent different note lengths) to play an accompaniment to a recorded song – or as the game progresses, a full melody.  The playing by ear game plays a simple melody that your child must repeat, matching the notes and the length of each as the character jumps from platform to platform in response to your child’s performance.
These games are arranged in varying orders and in different quantities (some games are played more than once) in each level and each of them records a score out of 3 music notes based upon your child’s accuracy.  The main map shows the total number of music notes accumulated at each finished level.  At the end of each level a big boss bird must be defeated with the recorder!



Map 1 teaches notes B, A, and G, teaching them each individually before adding them together for a simple melody (Mary Had a Little Lamb) at the end of the first map.  Completing the first seven levels of map 1 unlocks map 2 (WiFi needed to download).  Map 2 teaches the notes C and D and includes exciting new songs such as Jingle Bells, Ode to Joy (Beethoven’s 9th Symphony) and more.
