Tenuto FAQ
Is Tenuto free?
Yes, Tenuto is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Tenuto legit?
✅ The Tenuto app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I am learning guitar. Been at it for a little over a year.
This app was instrumental in helping me internalize the fretboard. I finally started the ear training sections, and it is super useful. Just showed it to my guitar teacher, and he was surprised such a professional tool existed for beginners.
So many options for customizing your lessons too.
Great App!
Are there any chances of adding more scales for scale identification?
Bass position symbols training
I love this app! It has definitely contributed to me having A’s in music theory and my ear training class. The only thing i think it needs is bass position symbol training. Thank you!
Wonderful app
Hi, Love the app so much, it’s taught me a bunch. I like how for example in sheet music interval identification the treble and bass are lined up by middle C so it gives you a sense of that link between them, but it would also be wonderful to have a setting making them farther apart, as they usually are in sheet music, and practice naming those intervals between clefs even with that extra distance.
Also, more specific chord ear training would be nice - with a reference note, play the exact chord on the little keyboard. As of now you can only practice naming the quality of the chord, which is useful too but not in the same way.
My favorite app on the App Store.
I have been using this app to gamify my learning and get good at piano relatively quickly. I use it to practice on the go and at the keyboard. It has helped me rapidly become fluent at reading sheet music. Now I am learning to identify intervals and other important aspects of learning to play jazz. And since, to me, there is nothing cooler than learning to play music, I think this is maybe the impactful to my life, as well as my favorite, app on the App Store.
Features
All a feature that lets us answer interval questions via letter name.
Example :
What is a M7 of C backwards
From a collection of letter notes, I would answer Db
Well worth it for a teacher
Been using the website for years so I decided to support them and buy there app. Now I don’t need an internet connection. Great app for teaching I use it for all my students
Arpeggio identification?
Overall very useful tool for practicing music literacy and ear training.
I would be interested in seeing the chord identifier also have the option to show chords as arpeggios ascending and descending.
Good, could be better
The exercises in this app are great for someone approaching music theory, or for someone wanting to touch up on chord ID or ear training.
The calculators are indeed handy, but there should be exercises for Roman numeral analysis, or cadence ID, and other advanced music theory practice.
Other than that, great app. Would recommend for beginner music theory study.
Hugely accelerated my learning!
I’m learning electric bass and this is helping so much! Instead of playing solitaire or Tetris, or doomscrolling IG, I work the fretboard ID exercises. Turns idle time into music practice even when I’m miles away from my guitar. I’m so glad I found this!
