Learning about new composers everyday helps me keep my brain active as I get older.

This is the best app! I have a shortcut set up to open the app right as I’m arriving to work and I make it part of my day to read the bio of the composer and then listen to at least one piece by that composer. I studied music in college but I have learned so much more “new” music that I wouldn’t have known about if it wasn’t for this app!

Being a piano teacher, I’m always looking for more resources and things I can implement into my teaching. I feel this app will not only broaden my composer knowledge, but my students knowledge as well. Plus, it’s cool knowing what composer was born today, and be able to read a little snippet about them. I love how each composer has an iTunes link so I can familiarize myself with their music and style, and also play a few pieces these composers are well known for to my students. I also wanted to add, I contacted Daniel with a suggestion I had, and he replied within a few hours. Great app and customer service!
