Tenuto FAQ
Is Tenuto free?
Tenuto is not free (it costs 800.00), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Tenuto legit?
✅ The Tenuto app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
5 stars since it does exactly what is advertised, and it does it well.
I have used this app for years, and it has helped me a lot!
One thing I wish it had regarding ear training:
It would be nice to have an option to hear the separate notes after guessing a harmonic chord/interval. Sometime I try to hum (or imagine) the separate notes of a chord after hearing them harmonically. Hearing them played melodically post-guess would let me correct myself.
Anyway, thank you for the app! Having such easy access to these drills allows me to practice theory even on my busiest days :)
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
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.
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!
Good app
Good for practicing reading sheet music and ear training. Any chance that you can add larger intervals beyond octaves for all training activities as well as double flats and sharps?
Terrible and misleading
This app has no lessons or information on music. It’s just bunch of lame quizzes that are completely uninspiring and boring. I can’t get a refund. Geeeeeeeeeee. I wonder why!
