Rote Note app for iPhone and iPad

A song scheduling aid for music students!

Ever wonder why cramming for exams only works on short-term memory? Because your brain is adapted to purge information that it thinks you only need once or twice. How many of us can remember what we had for dinner last Tuesday? The secret is a long-term learning trick called the Spacing Effect.

Rather than cramming (or practicing) every day, you gradually increase space between practice sessions. This eventually tricks your brain into using different neural connections to the same information which increases your ability to recall that information. Of course, over time you learn pieces so all you need to do is maintain at a much slower frequency.

Rote Note gives you the ability to configure the built-in scheduling algorithm to your specific needs and to adjust your progress forwards or backwards as you see fit. Rote Note isnt a calendar app that bugs you when its time to practice. Its a utility you can use to track your progress and know what songs are on your agenda when youre ready to and willing to practice.
