Been looking for something like this
Nosyellit

I am a piano teacher, and I’ve been looking for something like this!


Perfect
DaBest10

Honestly one of the best apps out there for music training. It explains lessons, trains your ears and knowledge. It’s honestly the best. I really hope they add chord progression feature.


The most helpful music app out there
unseensight

The user interface is smooth and clean with no lag. The exercises in this app are very helpful! Each exercise is straight forward and helps drastically with memorizing notes, chords, and basically anything to do with music since this app has it all.


Just Wonderful

I’m an old, highly-educated beginner piano student. Words cannot express how good this app is. If your time and rate of learning are important (of course they are), then you’ll see that this app would be a bargain at 10x the price.


So close to perfect!

This is a really helpful app! Great learning tool! Things it needs: 1: Keep screen alive when connected to piano. Disable screen sleep. 2: When connected to a piano, give me a full screen scale! I don’t need the keyboard if it’s connected!


Doesn’t teach everything
1 Al

In the music theory app you begin with “the basics”. But the training starts you off right in the middle. I used other apps that teach about note lengths and time signatures. Aren’t those just as important as the rest?


Life CHANGING

Love it!!! So helpful!!!


A must have for staff training
anthonyjcwilliams

If you play music and use a staff, get this app. Highly comprehensive and flexible, you can customize just about any type of exercise you need to help you with music theory. Tenuto means business, happy customer here.


Absolutely worth the money

So nice to be able to do ear training away from the piano, it’s the little pockets of practice that make you better!


Professionally designed
Yang Shi Wei

I use this app primarily for learning to read C-clefs as part of my conducting endeavors, and this app has helped me so much with my reading speed. There are so many different modes to train yourself and you can be fully in charge of what you want the challenges to be (time, accidentals, line/space notes etc.)
