New: a daily Practice Coach, a full Ear Training studio, voice analysis with instant feedback, and a Maqam Composer. Your complete companion for the sound of the East.
Discover the beauty and depth of Arabic maqams through an all-in-one educational app designed for musicians, students, and lovers of oriental music.
The maqam system — the modal framework of Arabic, Turkish, and other Middle Eastern music — is the heart of this learning platform. Each maqam is explained with clarity, accuracy, and musical depth, supported by audio examples, visual tools, and contextual insights to help you truly understand its structure and emotional character.
WHAT'S INSIDE EACH MAQAM
• Full breakdown of notes, intervals (in cents), and characteristic degrees
• Authentic audio examples for real-world listening
• Famous songs that use the maqam
• Interactive quarter-tone keyboard for practice and experimentation
• Transpositions, modulation paths, and melodic behavior
TRAIN YOUR EAR
• Ear Training studio: match sung degrees, tell two maqams apart, practice over a sustained drone, and build rhythm precision with slow-practice tempo ramps
• Voice Analysis: sing into the mic and see instantly how close you land to the maqam, in cents
• Smart review: maqams you confuse come back at the right moment, so recognition sticks
PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
• A daily Practice Coach builds a session plan around your weakest maqams
• Adaptive quizzes that focus where you struggle
• Performance tracking by scale, plus a practice calendar with streak tracking
CREATE AND COMPARE
• Maqam Composer: assemble scales from ajnas and hear your creation
• Compare any two maqams side by side, degree by degree
• 100 traditional rhythms (iqa'at) with clear notation and real audio
• A rich, verified glossary of maqam theory, forms, instruments, and history
You can explore both foundational maqams (Rast, Bayati, Hijaz, Saba, Nahawand, 'Ajam…) and rare or complex ones (Bastanikar, Suznak, Husayni, and more). Available in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, with full right-to-left support.
Whether for performance, composition, or curiosity — this app is your key to mastering the sound of the East. Download now and start your journey through the rich landscapes of maqam music.
Where are the Maqams? I can only find Ajnas and not even all of them,only the sets from 5-3,can't scroll up to 1 and 2.This is a shame since it seems like a great app but I can't access everything in Ajnas and I can't scroll up to the Maqams even though I bought it
Good pocket reference

A good quick reference for learning structure and pitch in mid-eastern music. Will require a fundamental understanding of the music to make since, but is still good for beginners. My only real issue is that occasionally only Arabic is shown with no English translation, but it does not really affect the usability of the app.
Thank you

What a fantastic app! Essential for those learning Arabic/Oriental music. There are a few bugs and a few mistakes but overall its a fantastic app :) thanks

There is no functionality under iOS 7 for this app. It only crashes when I click any button.

• Voice Analysis: sing and see how close you land to the maqam — live, in cents
• Maqam Composer: build scales from ajnas and hear them instantly
• Compare Maqams: two scales side by side, degree by degree
• Smart review: spaced repetition for maqam recognition
• Redesigned home dashboard and a richer, fact-checked glossary
• New: full Spanish localization, improved Arabic right-to-left experience
