User Story:
As a 9-year-old taking piano lessons, my teacher quizzes me about key signatures and scales, but I always get them wrong and we spend a long time talking about them in each lesson. It’s boringgggg. This app helps teach me my scales in learn mode, so we can spend more of my lesson time playing piano!
