Music

Learning an instrument or music theory on your Mac? Lumini sees your sheet music, DAW, or tutorial and guides you.

Learn music without switching between apps

You're learning piano, guitar, or music production. You have sheet music on screen, a tutorial video playing, or a DAW session open. You encounter a chord you don't recognize, a rhythm you can't figure out, or a theory concept that doesn't click. Normally you'd open Google, search the term, read an article, watch a video — minutes of context switching that break your practice flow.

With Lumini, you stay at your instrument. Hold Ctrl+Option and ask: "What chord is this?" Lumini sees the notes on your screen and explains: "That's a Cmaj7 — C, E, G, B. It's a major seventh chord, common in jazz." It points at each note in the chord.

What Lumini can help with in music

**Music theory:** "What key is this piece in?" Lumini sees the key signature and explains. "What scale is this?" Lumini sees the notes and identifies major, minor, modal scales. "How do I build a diminished chord?" Lumini explains the formula and points at examples.

**Sheet music reading:** You're looking at sheet music in a PDF, on MuseScore, or in a notation app. "What does this symbol mean?" Lumini explains dynamics markings, articulation symbols, and notation conventions. "How do I count this rhythm?" Lumini breaks down the time signature and note values.

**DAW and production:** Working in Logic Pro, Ableton, or GarageBand? Lumini explains what each knob does on your synth plugin, helps you dial in a compressor setting, and points at the EQ curve you should adjust.

**Instrument technique:** "How do I finger this chord on guitar?" Lumini sees a chord diagram or tab and explains the finger positions. "What's the proper hand position for this piano passage?" Lumini breaks down the fingering.
