Cecilia: Perfect Pitch Trainer app for iPhone and iPad

THE POWER OF THE HUMAN BRAIN

Research shows that due to on-going brain plasticity during training and learning, both adults and children can acquire all the abilities associated with musical perfect pitch. However, adequate and effective tools for perfect pitch training have been lacking, making perfect pitch training much more difficult. This is why we made Cecilia which combines ground-breaking research in Knowledge Artificial Intelligence and the art and science of Human Learning to produce the ultimate perfect pitch trainer. Cecilia is a knowledge AI which adaptively guides you from easy to advanced levels of musical perfect pitch, and provides a complete set of apparatus with a gamified approach in an immersive environment, which altogether delivers the perfect pitch trainer that every musician will enjoy.

Cecilia trains the brain and ears in every aspect of musical perfect pitch, ranging from isolated note recognition and tuning, to key/scale recognition and melodic/harmonic transcriptions using absolute pitch. This trainer provides a practically proficient perfect pitch training for immediate application whenever you play, compose or listen to music.

MEDITATIVE AMBIENCE AND EXPERIENCE

A full and effective perfect pitch training requires a long-term commitment. This is why Cecilia incorporates elements of meditation and relaxation, serving also as a daily means of contemplation and reflection. These elements are embodied in the very fabric of the games, at times as delectable surprises, and at other times they are felt and experienced in both conscious and subconscious ways.

The ambient music throughout the games are especially designed to soothe, calm, relax and inspire, caressing and ushering the highest alpha brain states for super learning and assimilation. The result is a deep learning experience that is both meditative and soothing yet challenging and addictive.


INTEGRATED LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Cecilia is set in an immersive outer space environment, among the stars, traversed by the player on an alien ship across the universe. Each training game session corresponds to a shuttle between stars and star systems, planets and galaxies. The attentive player will get to learn the names of heavenly bodies and the constellations to which they belong, in addition to enjoying the reflective, or if you will, the meditative hints embodied in the music titles and ushered by the ambience of space and sounds in the games.

Through interaction with the game settings, and by looking out for answer feedbacks and hints during gameplay, you will gradually gain a deeper mastery of music theory including the workings of chords and scales, leading up to the mastery of the entire chord vocabulary and all the important scales that are based on the Western music system.


CUSTOMIZED TRAINING AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Cecilia offers over 150 premium music instruments and exotic sound effects so you can choose your preferred instruments and sounds. Switching up your musical instruments enables an even deeper and more versatile perfect pitch ability.

In the Levels Mode within the app, you will explore perfect pitch training through carefully curated game selections and game configurations that allow you to learn gradually and methodically over time through incrementally richer and challenging levels of play.

On the other hand, the Practice Mode offers freedom to configure and setup each game as you wish, allowing you to choose the notes, scales and chords that form the basis of the melodic transcription games. You can also choose the number of notes in any given melody, select whether you wish to transcribe harmonies or arpeggios, select whether you prefer a simple monotonic rhythm or a more colourful variation of rhythms. Finally you can set your own rhythm tempo for a high paced melodic dictation or a moderate, more relaxed tempo.
