Hi everyone,
As part of a senior research project, my team and I have been exploring the idea of "perfect tempo" as analogous to perfect pitch – that is, if humans are able to train themselves to identify certain BPM from a metronome source or to reproduce a given BPM through tapping or other means of onset production. To research this topic, we created an iOS app called Tempo Maestro. Our goal with the app is to provide a game-like atmosphere to practice skills related to tempo identification, reproduction, and consistency while simultaneously collecting data to see how effective the app is at helping users improve. We are in the process of growing our user base, and we would greatly appreciate if you would look at the app and share it with your colleagues and students. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Here are the relevant links:
Additionally, this app is strictly for research purposes and not monetized in any way. Thank you!
