    Testimonials

    “I’ve just downloaded PedalPoint and I’m very impressed with it. I want all of my students to use it. I wish I had had an app like this when I was a student! Leon, I’m really excited about your app, and I think it’s a wonderful tool not only for students, but also for professional musicians.”

    “The app is absolutely brilliant! I’m sure I will incorporate it into about 70% of my teaching, and just as teachers always preach practicing with a metronome, I would preach using PedalPoint for intonation in the same way. For any musician playing an instrument where intonation matters, this app will be just as essential as the metronome. This is big! Really, really big..!”
