Community reviews for Chromatik

This is something you might be able to utilize with older students, but not in younger grades at all. Furthermore, you would be using this tool with a very small and specific learning group. This product great for adults and music teachers/band teachers/chorus teachers, etc. It is a great quick references for sheet music arranged for a wide variety of instruments. The sheet music on the screen does not always correlate, however, with the audio sample the site provides. I would also be concerned about copyright usage with the site as it does have music that is currently under copyright. I am not sure what the parameters are for printing and distributing the music. I would be careful and use the site and the scores it provides prudently.

This web tool allows students to learn independently and to easily access sheet music that would often be difficult or expensive to find. The site allows you to choose your instrument from a variety of instruments from piano to voice to alto saxophone with a total of 25 instruments available. Once an instrument is chosen, the sheet music will be shown for that instrument. Each piece includes a recording that follows along with the sheet music. The annotation, metronome and recording tools allow students to note progress independently and then share the progress later with an instructor or peer. Teachers must take responsibility for students following the terms and conditions of the site and to sign up students need to be 13 or older. However, teachers could also use the site for a whole group lesson to demonstrate. Note that the site will not teach anyone how to read music, it is geared for those who already read music and need specific sheet music for a particular instrument. I enjoyed finding popular music like Elton John's Tiny Dancer in addition to Jazz favorites, oldies, and chart toppers. You are sure to find something you could use in the selection of 33 categories provided on the site. This site is definitely worth a try.
