The words ‘scales & arpeggios’ often fill the learner with a sense of dread. They are frequently seen as dull, dry exercises that have very little to do with music-making. ScaleTracks represents a new frontier in music education; a wonderful synergy of technology and music. Now you can master your scales & arpeggios whilst playing along with beautiful backing tracks that compliment every single note you play in a huge variety of styles.
Whether you play the piano or the African nose flute, you can have fun playing scales & arpeggios with a symphony orchestra comprised of top London musicians for example. If that is not your thing, then play along with Dubstep or Techno tracks to name but a few genres. Whatever your musical taste, there is something to please everyone with over 120 unique and exciting ScaleTracks, that will inject energy and excitement back into practice.
Some people may say that Scales and arpeggios are not music, but ScaleTracks blows this theory out of water, with its incredible backing tracks that accompany the user, much in the same way they would play in a live ensemble such as a string quartet, brass band or full symphony orchestra.
Gone are the days of endless hours slaving away in a practice room playing dry, dull exercises without musicality. Now you can make music with Scales & Arpeggios, playing along with this revolutionary new app .

Good concept but only 2 scales

I like this app but will have limited use since it only has the key of C major and A minor!
Can't download all tracks

Paid my five bucks but now I can't get all twelve keys. It's locked on the "content downloading" screen. Deleted app and downloaded again with the same issue. Lots of promise here but I wish it friggin worked

Like the previous reviewer, I was annoyed that a supposedly "free" program cost $5 for the additional music files. The extra files ate up enough space on my iPad Mini that I had to remove some other apps so that this new program would run. Once installed, it is useful; I and my students (especially those at homes without a piano) can play scales and arpeggios and see if they are in tune. As a violist, I'd like to see this app with the ability to read and play alto clef; cellists would desire bass clef. This app is a little buggy, but it has great potential; I look forward to later versions.
Almost perfect

Love it- just PLEASE consider facilitating much higher tempo than the maximum available now! Well worth buying the full version. My more advanced students love it too, but the blah tempo is disappointing for them. Let's give those hard-working advanced pupils some fun too!!
