Development on Noteable began in 2001 when
20-year-old piano teacher Mark Meikle decided to create a software program to
help his students learn how to read music notes better.Mark found other music
training suites and programs, but nothing that focused intensely on the skill
his students needed most. So, with limited programming knowledge, he dived in
and started work on his "flash card program".
His family offered creativity and suggestions. They were instrumental in the
development of several of Noteable's best features. Mark's dad, Ted Meikle,
conceived of the name Noteable, the Reaction Time Stoplight, The Point and View
Statistics, The Drillit SmartTester, The Progress Reports, and The Email to a
Teacher features. Mark's sisters Christina Meikle and Carol-Marie Meikle helped
come up with nice words of praise to encourage correct answers!
The family hung a list on the refrigerator and everyone contributed.
Noteable was first released to the public in July, 2002. Over the years,
Noteable's users have contributed to the software. Users recommended the
normalization of statistics results, the improvement of the progress graphs, and
the addition of the guitar feature, the Top Ten Lists, the ear training feature,
midi functionality, custom clefs, the ability to color notes, and much more.
Today, tens of thousands of musicians have benefited from Noteable. As a
result, the software has sold thousands of copies and help many musicians read
music better. Thank you to our users for helping the world read music better!
If you enjoy Noteable, please tell a friend! That is the very best compliment
you can give us.
