Samsung also knew that even novice musicians want to play musical instruments at a certain level of proficiency. Where did the idea of creating Soundcamp come from?Īs singing audition shows gained attention on TV and even music composition competitions became common, Samsung recognized a changing trend in music: from listening to participation. From amateurs to professional musicians, anyone can use this app with ease.
