NDM - Bass is a compelling, free musical education application tailored for those keen on mastering the art of reading music on the bass guitar and honing their musical ear. It presents an engaging approach to learning through a merge of instructional content and game-like interactivity, enhancing the musical journey for users at various skill levels.

The application boasts a set of interactive features that allow for both note reading and ear training. It offers four distinct modes to cater to individual learning preferences: Training mode for practice at one's own pace, a Timed game to find the maximum score within a set duration, a high-stakes Survival mode where mistakes mean game over, and a Challenge mode that tests user skills at recognizing a series of notes.

The interface accommodates three notation systems: the solfège system (Do Ré Mi Fa Sol La Si), the alphabetic system (C D E F G A B/H), which facilitates the understanding of note names across different regions and learning styles.
