"Do not be afraid: of any note, any rhythm, any chord, any key"
Confidently traverse the world of music theory, recognizing notes, chords, and intervals in a flash.
NO piano needed- but if you have a USB connection or bluetooth, "white keys" (among other levels) is an interactive playable set of levels for note identification.
Parents/Teachers: This app focuses on intrinsic rewards more than extrinsic. It aims for the delight of knowledge gained and skills mastered to be the primary rewards.
* Infinite exercises (or at least a lot)
* All practice is foundational for sight reading!
* Great preparation for ABRSM, RCM, Trinity College, Piano Guild and similar music theory and performance exams (not affiliated or endorsed by any organization).
