Hello Prodigies! We are so excited to make the games part of our music class. The first time we played, I thought it was a great idea to have the note play with every press of button, for example with Bell Run. However, it looks like none of the games are really making a sound, not even the ear training games. Hope it gets fixed because it's a fun way to keep ear training but through play. Thank you.

We have a paid subscription at school - and can no longer access most of the content. It's frustrating - because I feel we have paid for a couple of years, and I can no longer access content I used to be able to see. I am a teacher in Sydney, Australia. Croydon Public School

We can’t get Instrument Detective to play any sounds. We checked volume and settings but still hear no sounds. Tried on safari on iPad and on iPhone.

I'm stuck in a never-ending sign-in loop. I am successfully signing in, but it never registers on the games page, so I can't access past level 2. It seems like the standard videos page understands that I am logged in (I can see the mini profile picture), but the menu page with the options for videos/compose/games/etc doesn't register that I'm signed in. Maybe there is an issue with the cookie? This is on Chrome on an Android mobile device.

Something has caused the state government of Queensland Australia to block your website. I can no longer access your site from school and I will have to cancel my subscription. I just wanted to let you know in case you were not aware of the blockages.

I had a good try today, but I couldnt save it or publish it anywhere, when I tried to publish it, it went blank again.

The interface is all over the place. cant click on things and settings for compose tool are in a strange place! Not saving unless you publish? Doesn't make any sense. The "feedback" button is inhibiting me from clicking settings.. Can't input notes by keyboard... Deletes project if accidentally click on something also. Completely dysfunctional. So much potential. Lets go!

Mr Rob it appears the settings tab is gone in the compose section.

Something to practice intervals. A movement game perhaps.

Can you create Low G Bell saying Healthy Habits

Mr. Rob, I have an idea for something. I want there to be like something people can use to make videos in sort of the way that you make videos on Prodigies. They can make whatever song they please. All the need is a settings area where they can make the type of video they want. Thank you! -Seun A. Williams

Hi there! I have a lifetime membership but when I go to the Seasonal category it says I have to subscribe to access them.

Mr. Rob, a very, very cool idea hit me today! So, there can be audio of the real song that we make on Compose and have it playing to match the lyrics, please? I would really like it. Thank you! -Seun A. Williams

I would love to see the performance tracks have black and white versions too! Also, I would love more pdfs on one page with black and white notes.

I need to cancel my subscription for right now. I can't find the option to, only to upgrade. We'll be back, just need to take a break.

In the article https://prodigies.com/blogs/news/top-7-free-ear-training-apps-for-the-budding-musician is a very cute app missing - KidsCIM I use it with my 5 yo and he has great progress. I think it is everywhere available - simple and good, zero bloat or ads for Apple and Android. I can highly recommend it as user to other parents, its not free, but has a free testing period and is priced as a children’s book - fair I would say.

I am logged in but, I can't play any videos

Mr. Rob, can you work on Guitar Prodigies, please? You mentioned about it in a Ukulele Prodigies video and I've been really looking forward to it. Thank you! -Seun

Hey friends, I upgraded to the more expensive monthly plan so I could have access to the curricular videos and it said the upgrade was successful but I still don't have access to the new plan I'm paying for...

Trying to vote on the polls, it won’t stay signed in even after refreshing. Yet it has me logged in at the top right below the header bar, still saying login on the header. Which prohibits me to vote

Hi! I am a general music teacher in Santa Cruz County. I've used the K-5 curriculum for a while now. I LOVE the guided rhythm of the week & guided desk bells! I can observe and grade while the students follow the video instruction. However, I wish I could embed the videos into my slides. It's clunky navigating from my Google Slides to Prodigies. Moreover the interface within the curriculm is clunky at best. I can't merely click through a week's lessons. For example, if I want to use K Week 5s lessons, I start with the Rhythm of the Week, then back out, scroll back to week 5 (hopefully the scroll tool is responding) and I then I finally can select the next video. It eats into my precious music minutes with my students. Again, I wish I could just embed the videos into the google slides. Even using the link merely takes me to the curriculum page, not the specific video I was trying to include. Hope there's a fix here. Thanks for all you do for music education! In harmony, Mrs. R Renee Roberts

It's Catherine from Croydon Public School again. I'm trying to attach a scrren shot - usseuccessfully. Most of the videso I used to use now have a locked symbol, saying 'click to preview'.

I wish the playlists weren’t so full of the performance videos. Sometimes my daughter likes to watch these as entertainment, but the performance videos really lose her interest quickly and make her frustrated. She’s much more interested in the videos with a person singing and signing. It would be nice to see the performance videos in a separate section. Or have devoted playlists that don’t include these. I tried to kind of manually do this with the “favorite videos”, but for me the favorited video playlists don’t automatically play from one to the next, instead they shoot you to whatever original playlist that the favorited video was originally pulled from.

I’m having issues with the sign in. Sometimes I sign in and it acts like I didn’t sign in (on the browser). Also, now it’s telling me my video playback is locked because “I have too many devices signed in” but when I go look into my devices, it’s just the same 2 devices signed in over and over. It’s counting different sessions as different devices. I am very excited about the new games, I will say. I’ve been desperately wanting something like this from you for a long time!! But I think is messing with my device count because it’s acting like the browser. Logins are separate from the app logins. I would love to see the games in the app.

Mr. Rob, cann you please add the bells heads on the notes, please? Thank you! -Seun

Safari on iPad fails to play sound, and also fails to show the score when I press Print to export a pdf. But it really is coming on Rob. Thanks so much!

also i don't think it's functional on safari, or maybe just not via ios. couldn't get it to place notes on my phone. couldn't get sound on my ipad.

no whole or half notes?

just saved a song i wasn't ready to publish but i don't think it actually saved anywhere

A TON of updates you all suggested and bugs you found have been addressed today. And there might be a suppppper sick new feature coming soon. Thank you all so much for the ideas and feedback. Keep it coming and we'll get this thing ironed out and running smoother every week

being able to view the whole page, rather than zoomed in to just one line. Also, saving settings to not have to reset selections every time.

Not sure if I'm doing this wrong, but when I added a dotted crochet, I couldn't figure out how to make the following note a quaver. It appeared a crochet and didn't quite fit correctly.

I've found the "clear all notes" but it doesn't also clear the chords. It would be nice to just have a completely clean sheet.

So excited... yet not sure I am doing it right. I can't get it to work on my iPad, and even on my laptop (which is new and up to date) it seems to have a lag in the playback mode? Not sure what I am doing wrong, or if maybe there are just a lot of people trying to use it all at the same time. Once we get it figured out it will me amazing! My girls have tried to write on paper their own songs... so this will be such a nice up grade and encourage them along.

This app is super, super, super, super, super good. Everything you made is amazing. -Ilán Zev (age 7)

You can now change your username from the "My Profile" menu in the top right, something folks were asking about!

Can’t syncopate an eighth tied to a quarter over the bar line. Dragging doesn’t allow enough control, as it places notes in random places rather than desired place.

The G when chromatics is enabled won't work by being dragged.

I am not figuring out how to do the compose. Are there some directions someplace?

How do you get a note on the staff?

UPDATE: Dotted quarter note support is live!! Thank you Shalia for the good feedback and idea there. KEEP EM COMING!!!
