User Reviews from version 1:

“I survived my first year of music theory with this, and am still constantly using it this year as well. It is nicely customizable and easy to use. Theres a lot of material is covers. I absolutely love the ear training. It has been invaluable. Looks nice, too! This is the app to buy for Music Theory class.” – Whitney Huskey

“I love this app. It also has some challenging ear training exercises. I have bought a lot of music theory apps and this one is my favorite for theory” – Hadrian7

Beginners quickly become Pros
Users who are just learning music will be able to practice naming notes on the piano and on the staff. The help section includes instructional videos with graphics and audio to teach the basic concepts. As they progress they will master key signatures, intervals, scales and chords.

Sharpen your ears
The ear training section provides many challenges for the more advanced student. It takes a sharp ear to identify altered dominant chords and modal scales quickly. For jazz musicians we’ve included the modes from the melodic minor scale and all kinds of extended chords. There is even a tempo quiz to identify beats per minute by assigning a number to a click track.

Increase your skills by competing with others
Various exercises propel you to higher scores, which you can post to compete for top ratings. Who will be #1 in the world this month? Could be you!

Music Theory Professor

I have been a music professor for over 40 years and I love this app! I will definitely use it with my students. The gaming aspect is very motivating for college students and the video instructions spell everything out clearly. I may even give homework drills using this. Its even useful for me - especially the jazz chords and ear training. The tempo quiz was a nice surprise too. This is a great tool for musicians at every level. A+ to this developer!

Awesome for Practicing Ear and Theory Skills

If you want to become a musical jedi, this is the app for you. There is such a wide variety of exercises and its actually quite fun to play. Ive improved my ear just in the first few minutes of playing. Its like you dont even realize you are studying music because of the gaming aspect - I just want to beat the other peoples scores and Im developing my musical ear and my music theory along the way.

No MIDI connection, you have to meticulously click on things

This APP would be so much better if it had a MIDI synch available to play with an external keyboard. Instead you have to painstakingly click on every single note in the exercises, which slows me down and, at least so my impression, inhibits my capacity to play and practice keyboard. Worth maybe $10, but not 20.

Quiz, not Instruction

This app will quiz you on music theory knowledge that you have acquired elsewhere. It will not instruct you in the elements of music theory.

Good Music Theory App.

This is a good solid music theory and ear training app. WHEN IT WORKS! I just updated my macbook pro to OS Yosemite, and this app stopped working since. I can still open the app but nothing happen when I click to do my ear trainning or interval quiz. Please Fix this issue asap. :-
