Tenuto is a collection of 24 highly-customizable exercises designed to enhance your musicality. From recognizing chords on a keyboard to identifying intervals by ear, it has an exercise for you. Tenuto also includes six musical calculators for accidentals, intervals, scales, chords, analysis symbols, and twelve-tone matrices.
A short description of the exercises and calculators follows.

I’m a guitarist. After many years playing the guitar this is the first tool which has really helped me to learn the fretboard. The fact that you can customise each exercise allows you to focus on you weaknesses, and improve them before moving on. I’ve used about 5% of the app exercises so far so still a lot to learn but looking forward to the journey.

What more can I say? This app is just superb. It is highly customisable and is helping me really firm up my musical foundations. I use it currently to test my chord shapes in Challenge mode, 50 chords and see how long it takes to name the chord, name the scale degree of the root note and to play it. Saying this out loud really helps drum it in. When I get below 5 minutes for 50 with no mistakes I change to another key.
Descending Scales

This is an excellent app which can be easily configured for the different ABRSM Music Theory Grades. How about including descending scales in the Scale Identification and Scale Construction features ? Performance Directions would also be welcome, but then Isuppose the app would look too much like an ABRSM app which may not be what the designers intended
Simple and Brilliant...

Infinite quizzes for essential music learning, including theory, reading and ear recognition. Many apps offer only a small fraction of what this does, and I know of none who make it so smooth, simple and appealing.
- Updates the app icon used in Dark, Clear, or Tinted modes.
- Fixes several layout and drawing issues when running as a Windowed App.
- Fixes an extremely rare crash when Challenge Mode is enabled.
