## ABRSM Music Theory Trainer Description
ABRSM Music Theory Trainer contains over 6,000 specially-written questions designed to test and challenge your music theory knowledge. Start by learning the basics then test yourself and see if you can get a perfect score. Every time you complete a round, you unlock the next level. Watch your music theory knowledge build up in these fun and addictive challenges and become a music theory expert!

In the app, you can learn about:

The musical stave, pitches, clefs
Scales, keys and chords
Rhythm and time signatures
Musical terminology and signs
Voices and instruments

And much, much more!

Strong foundations in musical knowledge and understanding are essential for developing well-rounded and confident musicians. That’s why we believe in the importance of music theory.

Hey, phone users! Music notation is complex and phone screens are small. This app is best viewed on an iPad, but there is still a lot you can learn and enjoy if you’re using the app on a smaller phone. Make sure you check out the preview screenshots in the App Store to see how the app will look on your device.

## ABRSM Music Theory Trainer Reviews in United Kingdom

### ****- "Pretty good"
Good but dosnt tell you everything and have to guess some things and doesn’t tell you when your wrong
-- Lula1q32, 2025-02-06

### **--- "font size too small"
font size is too small for the scale questions
-- G20pem, 2024-05-15

### *---- "Bad"
The App does not give the reason why an answer is wrong, leaving you to guess why the answer is wrong. Furthermore, it does not give key signatures in intervals, making it nearly impossible to get perfect. Last of all, you cannot zoom in, making it more difficult unfairly. If all the complaints I mentioned have been solved, then this review would have been 6 out or 5. Verrrrry disappointed.
-- Is taking, 2024-04-20

### *---- "Qhqh"
I don’t like theory
-- ggftzd12, 2024-04-07

### **--- "OK but well behind similar apps"
This app is very basic. The functionality is clunky, and it has not kept pace with similar development of teaching apps. Particular annoyances 

- Sometimes knowledge is quizzed that hasn’t been introduced previously: e.g. what legato, staccato, etc are. This is annoying and not conducive to learning.
- it isn’t explained why you got a question wrong: just that it is wrong with an option to reveal the answer, which makes this basically flash cards. Some additional explainer text for questions would be helpful. 
- the format is pretty stale and interactive; as above basically just flash cards presented in different ways: things like mock papers, actual sound-based exercises, options to get a mix of questions from across topics, would all be significant improvements 
- the progress is not intuitive: you can get a green tick in a topic after doing it once, but not actually answered a lot of core questions in the bank.  

My comparator to this is Duolingo: which obviously has huge resources but great potential to learn from
-- Nathanicus, 2024-03-14

### *---- "Zooming in and out"
Having the ability to zoom in and out will make the app more functional on mobile. Especially for those with sight problems.

The diagrams are too small to view.
-- Music_Newbie, 2024-03-01

### **--- "App alone not enough to prepare me for G5 exam"
I found this app less accessible and less comprehensive than free online materials. 

The app requires you to go through every part of a theory grade to access all the topics, which is tedious. 

The number of testing questions are small -  only one set per topic? I am concerned the ‘basics/knowledge and learning’ and the questions after do not actually cover everything I need!

The display is very small and notations can be difficult to read. 

While a good idea, with lots of potential, I could not recommend this to anyone above other free resources I have found. I only bought this app because of its association with ABRSM, but I am disappointed with my purchase.
-- Ciaran412, 2023-08-22

### **--- "."
I was hoping to use this for specific topics for grade 5 theory, but unlocking levels made this impossible. 

The ABRSM aural trainer is fab, but this one less so.
-- lbfenner, 2023-04-18

### ****- "Lack of information on notes for each clef"
The app does not contain all the notes for each clef in the basic (learning section) of the app. It would help enormously if a third slide was included that contained all the ledger line notes for each clef. Along with helpful mnemonics for each clef.
-- 101clouds, 2023-02-10

### ****- "Good - but some sections too small for iPhone"
Don’t download onto iPhone if you have iPad unless you can buy the app and download to ‘many’ devices. Some sections too small to read on iPhone.
-- [HOPEFUL], 2022-11-25

### ***** "Excellent app"
I am loving this app right now and I am learning how to play the piano at home! I have been doing extremely well and I managed to get to grade 3! I am also on grade 3 theory with my piano teacher.
-- Jacob Sarker-Islam, 2022-11-15

### **--- "Not in line with new online exams"
Contents not up to date to match up with new online theory exams.
-- iwantoreviewsillynicknmae, 2022-10-17

### **--- "Can’t unlock info without doing all quizzes"
I just wanted to use this for revision but you initially only get 4 quizzes at each grade and you have to complete them all to see the next level.  Do us a favour and make it unlockable without wasting time on the basics for those on the higher grades.
-- Disgruntled printer, 2022-10-01

### ***** "So far so good... as part of your study"
Very pleased with my purchase. I use the app to complement the theory trainer books, music theory resources and my piano teacher. You'd never learn enough just using the app but as part of a mix of study techniques it's a great investment and good practise for the online exam. 
The only snag is that I think you have to unlock it grade by grade which is a pain if you only want to do grade 5 !
-- FionaTritton, 2022-05-18

### ***-- "Good but needs improvement"
Content really good but the format display for an mobile phone is far too small. 
Please improve !
-- Mariachacd, 2022-05-07

### ***-- "Please update to reflect the 2020 syllabus changes"
Please urgently advise when you plan to update the app to incorporate the 2020 syllabus changes? 

My 3 star rating will then become a 5 star rating.
-- Amanda Hunt 🎷🎷🎷, 2022-02-04

### *---- "Don’t size too small"
In grade two the font size is so tiny it’s impossible to read the questions.
-- Neilog, 2022-01-21

### ***-- "Great question and answers but not much knowledge involved"
Just starting out learning music theory and for somebody who has yet to learn anything about music theory, I feel there isn’t enough teaching involved in preparation for the questions. Some of the questions are based on topics which haven’t even been covered. It felt like I was having a stab in the dark at some questions. It’s a really great concept that kept me hooked to complete Grade 1 in one sitting but it really does need more in the knowledge and teaching sections before the tests! Please improve this as it really is a fantastic start, just needs more info and explanations.
-- jmwreid, 2022-01-15

### ****- "Very good, with an inexcusable flaw…"
I’ve only used grades 1 & 2, for which this is an excellent* practice tool. However, it is clearly designed with the iPad in mind. On iPhone 11 Pro (so not even the smallest supported device), exercises such as intervals are so tiny, it’s hard work to read them confidently. It could be easily rectified by tweaking the layout to make them larger and remove useless borders. I’ll upgrade to 5 stars if that comes in a future update!
(* - UPDATE: Having just done the grade 2 exam I’ve realised that the app hasn’t been updated for the 2020 syllabus changes, so make sure you don’t rely solely on it!)
-- Simon Morgan, 2021-11-21

### *---- "Bad"
I got 1 mistake out of several questions and they had marked the work as yellow. They treat the work unfairly.
-- Jianxia1114, 2021-11-06
