I am SoundGym's and, although my performance at ToneGym has always been way better, I don't think anyone would like to read again the same story...! 😅

Congrats! But that 'FINALLY' after being here for... 2 weeks? maybe 4? might be bitter for those who actually struggle (me included, long ago) to get there...IMO. Great performance, though, but you already know that.
I want to start a poll regarding the lack of the bass clef in games and contests. I will have a post here and at the sight reading playground, respond to either.
I have a ticket open on this issue and want to get other users input as well. Ticket https://tonegym.co/support/ticket?id=OUPOBPNWW8N

1. Do you find the bass clef trainer at the sight reading playground as good as the games: https://www.tonegym.co/playground/practice?t=sightreading&type=tones&level=basic&clef=bass¬ation=1/1&speed=1

2. Did you know that this trainer existed

3. If you knew this trainer existed, did/do you use it to consistently train?

4. Would you like a bass clef contest, possibly replacing the inversions contest?

Curiously I think I got better at reading the bass clef as well as the treble clef by just doing the treble clef exercise. What I need uttermost is more discipline while reading and to stop guessing, which is exactly the effect that the exercise is having on me.

I like bass clef as much as treble clef (good for bass guitar, good for piano). I didn't know that existed. It would be nice to be able to choose bass clef as a personal option somewhere, with the option to have games in bass clef. It would be SO easy to program, take someone 10 minutes.

As a cellist, I say **thank you** for mentioning this, and I need tenor clef too actually please (and the most!) :-)

Also, no, I don't find the training exercises visible enough to use them as compared to picking Gym or Learn on my phone. :-/
