  • To get the most out of Dynabuddy, we recommend:

    1. A quiet space to practice

    2. A stand for your phone or tablet to ensure good posture

    3. Wired speakers, open back/open ear wired headphones, or open back/open ear wired earbuds*


    *These kinds of audio setups work the best because they allow students to hear both Dynabuddy audio and their own instrument clearly while practicing. 

  • The videos are designed for beginning to intermediate students. We created the videos with students aged 8-20 in mind, but they can help students of any age.

    For kids who are learning to read, the videos will be most useful if parents or teachers can help read the on-screen directions.

  • Videos are labeled using three pieces of information: instrument, video number, and category.

    1. Find your instrument:

    Each instrument has its own playlist
    The instrument name is also included in the title of each video
    Classroom videos do not include instrument names. They are intended for full ensembles

    2. Video number:

    In general, video numbers reflect the difficulty level
    For instance, Video 100 is more advanced than Video 1
    Classroom videos have a “C” after the video number, like Video 1C

    3. Category:

    Videos are designed to engage students in different ways by rotating through a series of 12 different musical activities. Click here for a detailed explanation of these activities and their labels.
