You teach the lesson. Bow Quest takes care of the week in between: it gets your students to practise at home, shows you what they did, and gives them pieces that build each skill in order.
What you can do with it
- Assign homework. Pick the pieces for each student in the app. They see what to practise, and you see the result as soon as it has been played. No more lost homework sheets.
- Follow practice. For every student: minutes played, pieces played, scores, and the pitch and timing of every note. You know before the lesson where to start.
- Use the library in class. Sight-reading sessions, games, a tuner and a metronome, and piano accompaniments for the pieces.
- Choose your own order. The pieces are organised into 12 skill areas, from open strings and pizzicato to finger patterns and string crossings, but you decide the path. Bow Quest is a tool box, not a method.
The music
The repertoire runs from the first open strings to Bach, Pachelbel and Vivaldi, with folk tunes, blues and pieces written for the game, in versions for violin and for viola. Every piece is in standard notation. Is something missing that your students need? Write to info@tadadaa.com and we will do our best to add it.
Free for teachers
You should be paid for your work, not pay to do it. Teachers get full access to Bow Quest for free. Install the app, create an account, set your role to teacher under my profile, and send a short message to info@tadadaa.com with your nickname and where you teach. Then add your students by their nicknames, as described on the help page.
Music schools
A school licence gives every teacher and every student of the school access with one agreement, at a price per student well below an individual subscription. Teachers connect to their own students, assign homework and follow the practice of the whole class. Write to info@tadadaa.com with the number of string students you have, and we will send a quote.
