Welcome to a new, interactive music theory training app. We offer a comprehensive course presenting the fundamentals of classical music theory. Our course includes 19 interactive units with audio samples, interactive exercises, and key definitions. Alongside this, we offer a streamlined set of skill practice to test core knowledge. This app matches the curriculum of the AP Music Theory exam, which is designed to reflect a knowledge at the introductory college level. We're excited to help you learn. And if you’re a student… good luck with your upcoming exam! Lessons include: - Pitch and Rhythm - Scales, Meters, and Modes - Intervals, Triads, and Seventh Chords - Harmonic Progressions and Cadences - Four-Part Chorale Writing and Two-Part Counterpoint - Embelleshing Notes, Tonicization, and Melodic Techniques The app includes over 90 different exercise types, including aural recognition, melodic/harmonic dictation, and single, two-voice, and four-part composition. Our app is still new! Found something that needs to be fixed? Have an idea for what to add next? We'd love to hear from you as we build out the next features. There are buttons across the app for you to submit feedback or take a quick survey to share your thoughts.

Great Music Theory Curriculum

First, this app has lessons that are incredibly well structured with you learning the lessons in a manageable size, and then going to exercises to test that knowledge. The only thing is, sometimes bugs impede progress on the final exams which doesn’t affect learning too much but makes it a little more difficult to track progression. It would also be good to be able to reset the exercises so that if you don’t perform well early on, you don’t need to get upwards of 200+ correct to get a higher grade on them. But the goal is to learn and as someone who has had a constant fear of music theory, this app is teaching me at a furious paceI’m adapting and learning various concepts including composition which is what got me interested in music theory in the first place. The exercises are locking in the knowledge gained and ensuring that it’s not lost the moment I close the app. I have noticed much greater understanding of musical structure when reading and creating music. I highly recommend it as a quality source of musical education, especially paired with an instrument and other sources!

I’ve been playing music a while, but was mostly self-taught so I had little knowledge of music theory. While it was hard to swallow my pride, I wanted to go back to the beginning and really try and learn and build my foundation from the ground up. for this being a free app, I have gotten so much more out of it than I expected and would highly recommend to anyone starting on a journey to learn music

This of a really great app got beginners of any instrument wanting to learn basic (and more complex) theoryThe format that the lessons and quizzes are provided in is very accessible and easy to use. The only thing I wish is that the app had more sections about more topics.

Quizzes and some UI broken

During quizzes, there are questions where you need to put in notes with accidentals. While adding accidentals and note attributes is not well-designed and can be challenging, this functionality usually seems to work during training sections, but is broken in the quiz section.I’m interested in continuing to learn, but am put off by an issue that hasn’t been addressed in an update for at least 5 months, since the app was last updated.

Sorry, I've been busy with my violin teaching lately. But I'm back to work on the app, and this is the first fix I've made!
