TUNESTA
✕ Designing a Music App ✕
OVERVIEW
"Tunesta" is a music app designed for the education and training of the jazz clarinet. It is a music player and sheet music provider combined and uses “gamification” and social techniques to encourage and engage kids to discover more about the clarinet. The app also includes audio examples.
"Tunesta" is a music app with a difference. It is an educational learning tool that challenges the sometimes, monotonous task of learning and education by adding a more interactive approach.
Some competitor analysis I conducted used apps such as “Yousician”, “Tomplay” and “Tonestro for Clarinet” as examples.
COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Tonestro - For Clarinet
Similarity - makes sure to keep all sections looking the same and consistent to group them, while changing colour to hi-light the differences.
Unity - Uses Bold complimentary colours throughout to differentiate and organizes each section to look the be sympathetic to each other.
Flexibility and Efficiency - Allows you to choose your own username and also what instrument to customize.
After looking at the competition I decided to use some of their techniques and ideas and adapt them to my own app.
I made sure to have a login page for onboarding as well as having help and FAQs for anyone struggling with the app.
I have clear navigational elements with text to make sure there is no confusion for the user. The icons and colours are simple and fun and are aimed to engage a young audience.
