About Dr Rhythm

Dr Rhythm allows you to hear and see the rhythm of your taps or written music. Either tap in a rhythm in real time or enter sheet music or score via notation buttons and watch Dr Rhythm show you the currently playing note or rest and hear the rhythm at the same time.

As your pattern is being played and you hear the rhythm, Dr Rhythm allows you to follow the current note or rest by highlighting it on the display so that you can see its contribution to the rhythm. Bar numbers show you where you are in the score.

Change playback speed, time signatures, swing and playback instrument as the pattern plays. Playing with the app builds a solid sound memory for music notation patterns, increasing your sight reading abilities as you play and have fun!

Use Dr Rhythm as a sophisticated music notation based metronome - you can program exactly the rhythmic sequence you wish. Drummers and percussionists can produce music notation based ‘click tracks’.

Come across a tricky rhythm in a bar as you’re reading some music? Let Dr Rhythm show you how it’s supposed to sound. Tap it in, listen and then play along! Hear and see how the rhythm of written sheet or score music should sound.

Have fun building your own rhythmic patterns, this will rapidly increase your music sight reading skills.
