Rhythm Learning Playground - DuBeat

WWDC

title

The app👨‍💻

If you ever struggled when learning a new musical instrument, then maybe rhythm is one point to consider. That's the main porpouse of my app: Help people to learn rhythm. In the app there is a basic drum beat, used in tons of famous songs, that I broke down into 4 simple lessons. At the end of the book you are able to play the whole beat along with a custom song I created for the app using Garage Band. Youtube demo.

How I came up with the idea💡

I really love music. I can play many different musical instruments. But I am not so good at teaching. Once I tried to teach my cousin guitar, and we failed as he was not so good with rhythm plus my lack of teaching skills💩.

Resources

Using Garage Band I was able to create the notes for each drum instrument and also the song played in the last lesson. I used Sketch to create the art of the project.

Can I play? 🥁

The app is called DuBeat and it is available on the App Store

I really struggle with rhythm! What can I do?😭

You can change the tempo (how fast you are supposed to play) with the following:

  • metronome.setTempo funcion -> Playground Book
  • Tempo on lesson menu -> App

Up next 👊

  • Create more lessons so you can be the best!😎
  • Upload more songs to the app so you can have more fun with your new skills
