Music Theory 101: Study Course

During quizzes, there are questions where you need to put in notes with accidentals. While adding accidentals and note attributes is not well-designed and can be challenging, this functionality usually seems to work during training sections, but is broken in the quiz section. I’m interested in continuing to learn, but am put off by an issue that hasn’t been addressed in an update for at least 5 months, since the app was last updated.

First, this app has lessons that are incredibly well structured with you learning the lessons in a manageable size, and then going to exercises to test that knowledge. The only thing is, sometimes bugs impede progress on the final exams which doesn’t affect learning too much but makes it a little more difficult to track progression. It would also be good to be able to reset the exercises so that if you don’t perform well early on, you don’t need to get upwards of 200+ correct to get a higher grade on them. But the goal is to learn and as someone who has had a constant fear of music theory, this app is teaching me at a furious pace I’m adapting and learning various concepts including composition which is what got me interested in music theory in the first place. The exercises are locking in the knowledge gained and ensuring that it’s not lost the moment I close the app. I have noticed much greater understanding of musical structure when reading and creating music. I highly recommend it as a quality source of musical education, especially paired with an instrument and other sources!

This app is well put together and truly helps you learn theory, overall the app has a good ui and has a ton of information for you to use. The appendix is a super cool feature to have as well! Thank you for this app!

It won’t let me place the note on the staff and if it does it won’t let me choose the accidental I need :/
