Music Theory Pro for Positive User Reviews
✓ Excellent app!Excellent explanations & really useful test exercises. Please develop an advanced version!.Version: 1.0
✓ Was awesome! UntilSo this app is very well designed and has been helping me a lot with learning my music theory faster, but since I switched to iPhone 6 I'm not able to switch the settings in the app, for example, somehow I was able to switch to bass clef and then wanted to switch back to trouble clef but now it does not let me switch. Please update and fix this bug I do really like this app and would have given 5 stars!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ A good appEasy and effective.Version: 0
✓ Learn in a fun an easy way!Thank you for creating such an app to practice for my music theory! You do have to know a few things before hand but this app is here only to improve what you know and to get quick at it. The only thing is the UI is not the cleanest and it's missing a feedback for ppl to help develop this app even more. Thank you developers for bringing this to the store!!!.Version: 0
✓ Best out thereI found this app so useful and far better than similar apps. Particularly good for practicing and learning interval recognition..Version: 1.0
✓ My one stop theory resourceNo more bulky books, no more having to make my own interval recordings, no more fishing around for online theory trainers that never work well. As I've been prepping for university theory classes this fall, this app has turned into my best friend. It's laid out so nicely. There's no fumbling around to do what I want to do. When I had a question the designer answered me within an hour. Value like this is hard to come by!!!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Amazing wealth of knowledgeI have been using this app for the past few months to develop my music knowledge, it is very easy to use and the layout is great for helping you remember what you learn. 5 stars.Version: 1.0
✓ BrilliantGreat app. Would like to see this continue to be developed and expanded..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Can’t exit the app—but the rest is brilliantI find this app fantastic and simple to use. But I can’t exit the app or even swipe it away. I have to go to the Home Screen and review in the App Store to exit..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Brilliant app worth every penny.Great to use and learn, the question mark helps you understand the exercise and gives more insight to music theorythank you music theory pro!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Very usefulIt's a well presented, thought out app. I particularly like the competitive element; something that other music training apps could learn from..Version: 0
✓ Music Theory ProI really enjoy this app. I'm an amateur musician and a member if a community band. I am also a shift worker and it's difficult to find time to practice my horn let alone study music theory. With this app, I can sharpen basic music theory skills anytime or anywhere. The chord recognition exercises are particularly helpful. If you love music and want to improve your skills, stop wasting your time with games and get this app. You can't beat the 99¢ investment..Version: 0
✓ Maybe a little disappointingI have a class set of ipads and was hoping to use this with Year 7 & 8 high school students - it assumes a bit too much knowledge without sufficient explanation - and the one octave keyboard does not give a realistic sense of high/low pitch for young musicians - I will still give it a try . . . but . . . it is really an app for knowledge testing of advanced students. (Maybe this should be clearly explained in the app notes). Nevertheless, a good app..Version: 0
✓ THIS IS TOO FUN!Ok... I like to sing and I pretty much know the notes and all, the treble clef anyway, but until now the rest was pure pig-latin to me. I've always wanted to know more about vocal harmonies and what makes them work so beautifully together, but frankly, I was intimidated. Now I'm not. I'm excited about learning and having fun at the same time. This makes sense to me now and I'm making progress, even at my age. I am actually learning this stuff now, I'm excited, and I'm hooked! THIS IS TOO FUN!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great appI love this app, easy interface, adjustable difficulty and not expensive! Will be recommending it to my music students..Version: 1.0
✓ Accountability HelperI’ve used this app for nearly 8 years and it’s a staple with my students. It great for increasing their speed and recognition of notes, intervals, scales, keys and sounds. It makes it very easy to set goals for your students (recognize all complex intervals 100% in less than 15s). They then screen shot it and text it to you for tests..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Good jobThis is a great app! I have experienced no problems with it and it is fun and easy to use! I have learned so much! Great app!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ ExcellentGreat App. It has improved my sight reading immensely..Version: 1.0
✓ Great appThis is currently my favorite app. I use it for my pupils and they love it. It is simple, straight forward with good piano sound. Great for beginners + and ideal for people who needs a refresher in music theory..Version: 1.0
✓ Great app!As a music student, use it very often. Love that there are so many options to customise the exercises. It's a very practical app as it's equal parts ear training and sight-reading - which allows me to put theory into practice. Highly recommended..Version: 2.0
✓ Effective, really improves your skills!Such a great value for this app! I love the ear training that's included and it has given me some nice challenges. WIth the options to make the exercises more difficult, I see myself getting quicker at them each time. If you need to review, the Help button gives a concise explanation with examples whether you're just in need of a reminder or even if you don't know the concept too well. This app is effective and kind of addicting while keeping your skills sharp and the competition aspect is good fun too!.Version: 0
✓ Best music theory appThis is by far the best music/ear training theory practice app I've found on the App Store, having used it for quite a few versions now. The perfect companion to any studying musician or anyone simply wanting to improve their ears (everyone). It has improved considerably over time, and it really does help. Before using this app, my listening tests were the most daunting exam, now they're a piece of cake. Not only that, I can transcribe songs a lot quicker, and the speed that I can improvise (and write without an instrument) has improved too. Very glad I found this app..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Best I’ve found, couple of errors tho.Best app I’ve tried so far for people who already have competent theory knowledge and just need some maintenance. 1 or two annoying bugs..Version: 2.1.1
✓ The best!This app is an absolute godsend. As a teaching tool it has no peer. My students love using it and learn more about music theory in a few minutes than in a whole year of classroom music. As a personal ear training tool it's bang on! Great support too from its creator, who really backs his work. Buy this App!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ MrI first wrote a review giving this app 3 stars, I think this was a little unfair, as I have used it I find it enjoyable and quite a positive use of my time, it has got many great exercises and has clearly been written by someone who wants to grab the attention of the younger generation, it can be posted to show friends your progress, and the ear training, though not perfect, is a good addition, especially the scales. I hope another more advanced version is under development as I will buy that too, I will sign off now as I want to use the application again...... Cheers, upgrade to 4 stars..Version: 1.0
✓ MT ProfSo I really like this app. But it appears this is a problem that needs fixing for many as I did not type anything in quotations and it appeared as I went to write a review... "Please fix.. I lost sound to intervals and tempos in the ear training section... and after every question I answer there is an ask to go to MT Prof. Which isn't even available in the iTunes Store. Please fix!".Version: 2.1.1
✓ Worth gettingA very good app, this has improved my skills greatly worth buying.Version: 0
✓ Good apGreat app simple yet efficient tools and options.Version: 1.0
✓ Very helpfulThis app has helped me prepare for my grade 5 abrsm theory exam. Gave me all kinds of drills I used over and over again. You can adjust the level of difficulty you require..Version: 2.0.4
✓ GreatGreat app for those starting to get a handle on music theory..Version: 0
✓ Best oneI have tried many music training apps, but this one is by far the best, and at a great price too..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great way to stay sharpIf your a guitarist who have already studied theory or studying it now than this is the app for you. I think that there should be what each note sound like in ear training..Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome app but....The ear training only works with chords, and not intervals, scales or tempo Otherwise an excellent app and a fun way to stay sharp musically!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great App for beginner studentI am a beginner piano student and this app is my favorite for music theory study when I am not at my piano. I have tried many do-it-yourself methods for learning piano and music theory. This is BY FAR the best I've seen. As a beginner I cannot do all the lessons perfectly, but it compliments my study with my piano teacher very well. Any musician you talk to will tell you to study with the best teacher you can. I have an excellent teacher who is both classically trained and a working jazz pianist. This app compliments my study with her and allows me to work on my music theory at my level. The interface is intuitive and efficient. I have my iphone with me everywhere I go and I can study music theory any time of the day or night. I have spent many many times more than the cost for this app looking for something like this and I am writing this review because I know anyone who buys this app and is serious about music theory will absolutely love it ! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND JUST BUY IT AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT. I have never met Dr. Joel Clifft but all I can say is THANK YOU Dr. Clifft for taking to the time to develop such a wonderful and helpful app..Version: 1.0
✓ Favorite Music AppThis is the best music training app I have found - both for reading/theory and ear training. Sounds are good, theory is solid, interface is user-friendly. Tempo training section is a great bonus Help files are limited but explain the concepts well. If you have no experience with music you may have to practice at it but the information is there. Love the game aspect - beat other users time and accuracy. Good customer support - developer told me he is working on a desktop version with a slew of jazz chords and scales This app has already made me a better musician - good training from a music professor for $1. How can you beat that?.Version: 1.0
✓ Yessss!!!I am an alum of USC's Jazz Studies program, and am proud a fellow Trojan made this app! I use it with my sax students all the time. I especially love the ear training tempo section... I'm trying to become less dependent on drummers when counting off tunes! As a suggestion... Maybe you could do a random rhythm and/or melodic sight reading section... Like where an audio clip plays a short (1 or 2 bar?) passage, and you have to pick the correct multiple choice notation and/or rhythm that was played over audio. That could be cool. It could even extend to 3 or 4 bars! Also, you could do a "Simon Says" sort of section, where the app plays 3 notes, then you play it back plus 3, then it plays back your 6 notes and adds three, then you have to play back it's 9 notes plus three, etc. That always really helped my ears. You could even get a microphone algorithm so that people could sing into the mic instead of using the piano, or a sax player like myself could play into it. Also, I would totally pay for extra content if it were reasonably priced, an truly worth the money! So many possibilities, keep up the good work!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great Theory App!!!!This app by Dr. Joel Clifft is very good and full of spot on representation of music theory and intervalic education. I like the way it is so neatly laid out and organized to fit all of one's musical needs. If you spend a half-hour to an hour on this app per day, you will become by far the most solid musician in whatever ensemble you take part in. I HIGHLY recommend spending the .99 cents to get this app. Totally worth it in every stretch of the means. There are a few other theory apps out there but if you want solid ear training and professional musicianship as part of your repertoire, then MUSIC THEORY PRO IS FOR YOU! =).Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent !This program is fabulous. I majored in Theory/Composition many years ago and was thrilled to find this App. It allows me to maintain and improve my musical skills. I use the ear-training section all the time. There is a slight problem with the ear-training part,though. Sometimes the audio stops when identifying intervals. I'm sure this will be addressed. Even with this glitch, I'm giving it 5 stars. Every musician, who wants to remain competent, needs this App..Version: 1.0
✓ Can the ovationI like everything about this except the loud, annoying applause. Please let us toggle it away..Version: 1.0
✓ Great!This App is great, if you get an answer wrong, it provides the correct answer right away. The only drawback for me is that it's better for students who actually know the answers, than it is for those learning. An improvement would be to introduce the material without the test, go over wrong answers at the end. Still by far the best App of this kind anywhere! It allows you to limit the questions and even the variety..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Amazing Theory App!This app is by far the best iPad/iPhone app I've worked with. There are others like Music Tutor but it's only limited to just note naming. Music Theory Pro is just like the name says, it's a pro at aiming towards teaching theory without a headache. Provides a fun challenging way to learn all the aspects of theory. You've got everything from note naming, to chord naming and ear training. And it's all broken down step by step so that once you master note naming, you can move on to key signature naming. Just the best app in my opinion and I highly recommend downloading it. Can't wait for the midi compatibility for the Mac version! Thank you!!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Love itThis is simple but intense. I'm learning and getting faster! On Ear Training, I wish the applause would stop when the next round starts. Also wish, when it shows the "right" answer and takes a moment to flash it, there was a way to learn from the mistake by hearing it again or for chords or simultaneous intervals hearing it broken down by notes..Version: 1.0
✓ Very, very good for reviewAs a musician who was formally a music major (before switching), this app works very well as a refresher and trainer. I've had a couple of theory courses, so this is perfect for me. If you are new to theory, this will do only ok for you, but you'll probably want a book or website or another app to explain what all the symbols mean. If they incorporate that idea into this app - then it would be really great! Either way, download it!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ AwesomeReally helpful for keeping up with theory in school. Thank you!.Version: 2.0
✓ Great app!Perfect app for aural training and learning to sight read music..Version: 0
✓ Well done!!This app is fantastic and I am getting better at a number of different activities inside the app. (Intervals, chord recognition ear training, etc.) it's simple and easy to use. The one thing I would like however is to be able to select how many questions an activity will ask. I.E you can choose 10, 20 or 200. It would be nice to have 50 or something in between..Version: 1.0
✓ Worth it!Has everything a student looking to study would need, the only issue is the high scores seem a little bit high. Maybe people are that clever but I am certainly not one of them. Otherwise just what you need..Version: 2.0.4
✓ The best music theory app available!This is by far the best music theory app available. For the same price that you would pay for a note trainer app or an interval trainer app you get it all. Learn: - note names on the staff and the keyboard - major and minor key signatures - intervals - chords - ear training for tempos, intervals, scales & chords The app works great and the author responds quickly to questions / feedback. Update: unfortunately it looks like this app has been abandoned - still works but I don't think any of the suggested updates are going to happen..Version: 1.0
✓ Great app and lots of fun, but there is room to improveI have to say that this is probably the best application of its sort. It's so simple, but it's exactly what I want. I can practice identifying chords and intervals by ear, reading notes in different clefs, read key signatures, and much more! I would like to see some changes in the next version though. 1. Add tenor clef. Right now, there is only treble and bass clef. Although tenor clef is less common, I think it would be very useful to have it as well. 2. Add more instruments that we can use to identify music with. Right now, we can only use the piano. I think it would be fun to add the guitar and the violin and other instruments. Overall, teriffic app but please consider my suggestions!.Version: 1.0
✓ Psychology majorWow. This is fun. I am just starting to learn music and this application is helping me sooooo much. I sort of stumbled onto it, looking for something that would help me with the theory stuff. The notes and stuff. A lot is more complex than I can understand yet, but I have learned a lot in just a couple days. It is so handy to just be able to pull it out during lunch or whatever and makes learning and studying fun. If you want to learn music, I can tell you this puts it in an easy way to understand..Version: 0
✓ Great appIt's truly helped me improve my sight reading and pitch Fantastic app - worth getting.Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome app!I NEVER waste my time writing reviews, even for apps that I love, but I was so pleased with this app that I needed to share. This app can benefit any musician at any skill or knowledge level. Perfect alternative to playing pointless games. Why waste your time throwing a simulated paper ball into a trash can when you can be practicing your music theory?! I've been out of school for a while now and after one day of owning this app, I'm relearning things that I've forgotten years ago. I mainly use it for the ear training, which can never get old, but it is also highly beneficial for students just entering the world of music theory. Great job on this app! Great buy!.Version: 0
✓ Great!A great app in my opinion. I am a complete music theory novice, when I downloaded this app all I knew was how to read (piano) music. It's great to have these exercises in my pocket, can repeat them several times a day whenever have a few mins. A few suggestions though: - I agree with a previous rater about the problems with the limited keyboard in note recognition exercise. I'm using it to improve sight reading, and when trying to go quickly it's off-putting to have to press a key almost an octave lower than the previous one when the written note is 1 half step higher than previous. - also, it would be helpful to me in learning intervals to have a version in which the starting note and interval name were provided, and I had to select the note corresponding to that interval (eg shows note 'C' and 'min3' and up to me to choose the correct note - Eb). - also as someone else said, once I realised that the key signature buttons always stayed in same spot, and that each 'spot' always corresponded to a particular number of #'s/b's, it became very hard to bother working out the correct answer, when I know which 'button' is right just based off no of items in key signature. All in all though, very useful to me as a beginner :).Version: 1.0
✓ AwesomeFantastic for anyone at any level. I use this app everyday!!.Version: 1.0
✓ For a Beginner!As the title say's as a beginner I find this app fulfilling all my requirements for a beginner. It is helping me to learn all the Notes, Key signatures, Intervals, Chords and Ear Training it is brilliant and it is on my phone and ipad I am improving wherever I go now. A must for a beginner but advanced or intermediate I would have no idea but as a beginner well worth the 0.59p..Version: 0
✓ Wonderful app, but has some flawsAs much as I miss the older version just a tad bit, the app is still nice for me to use to practice and enhance my knowledge of scales, chords, key signatures, and other necessities when it comes to music theory. The only thing that I would suggest to improve this app would be in the Ear Training section for the scales;I would really love that section more if it went up and down the scale instead of just going up and not even hitting the octave, like in previous versions. Going up and down the scale made it easier to identify it. It's a lot harder to identify if you just hear it going up and only up. Also the fact that the information button is gone in the sections now; there is no separate section anymore that explains anything, like in previous versions, they had a little question mark icon that explained how to read notes, or how to recognize a major from a minor, etc. I feel that by removing that, beginner musicians would have quite a bit of trouble understanding some of the music theory involved in this useful app. As a high school musician that has a lot of experience with music and is involved in many of the music programs at my school, I would definitely recommend downloading this app if you need help learning to read notes, recognize key signatures, and much, much more..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Nothing ImpressiveIt's ok for £0.59 however if it would cost more I'd say it's rather poor.Very useful if you know nothing about theory,but you need to know nothing to be happy with this app ;).Version: 0
✓ Very good appThis is a very well designed app, and it is hard to see how anyone interested in learning music will regret spending $1. I've used it in the last weeks to learn more about scales, and it is a perfect match with atheory book, as you can hear the scales, practice and ge more information. A few suggestions for an update: either remove the ovation when the score is high, or allow users to remove it, gets boring and distracting after a while. Also for the ear training section, what about repeating the scale when the answer was wrong and then playing the right one? Even a graphic sample of both wrong/right answers would be very helpful. It would also be great to have samples of music where the different scales are used. Maybe a link to a website with more in-depht info? Great work!.Version: 1.0
✓ ExcellentMy first app with my new iPhone, and I'm really impressed. Particularly with the 'ear training' section, in which you can slowly progress from simple rising intervals, to descending, and then to harmonic intervals. I'm a reasonable musician, my daughter is a competent musican, and my partner is a beginner. There is something for all of us in this, via the use of difficulty settings. Graphics are good, the sound (when required) is clear. The best thing - the price! For 59p this is superb value. Well done to the developer..Version: 0
✓ Just wonderingThe app is great, I just don't understand how the global scores work. There are people in the millions plus range and I can only get in the 100 thousands point range on the 100 question test. But i remember on the old version, you used to be able to go up to 500 questions. Is it because those people are still using the old version where you can go up to 500 questions?.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Usually fantastic app...but recently....But recently some of the ear training features aren't working properly on my iPhone 6s. The rhythm, intervals, and scales sounds aren't playing. I mean you can hit the play button and it recognizes the 3 times you can hit it. But there is no sound. The chords section works just fine. It's only the tempos, intervals, and scales that don't work. HALP!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Good app for beginners.If you're just learning, then this app can aid the process; but I also feel as though the app is useless to (as worded by the description) "pros," and I use that word very loosely. As a more advanced musician, I was hoping for a higher difficulty in the knowledge tested. The app IS titled "Music Theory." I feel as though ear training has enough information and practice to be looked at as an individual but interactive concept to music theory and should approached in a companion app of some sort, or separate theory from aural skills in the app itself. I was hoping to see things such as passing tones, retrograde, neopolitan, borrowed chords, cadences, and so on and so forth. As I am no longer a student, I find it very necessary to constantly keep myself under healthy studies without the institutional emphasis on such things to keep skills sharp, and reading that a professor of music had designed this app, I thought maybe I could stay in good practice regardless of location with my phone but was vastly disappointed. But, in favor of this app, it does offer good practice for very basic beginners, and I would suggest this to anymore with very minimal knowledge and would like to keep in good practice..Version: 1.0
✓ Love the appThis is an excellent learning tool. My theory improves every time I use this device. Something that is difficult for me is in the ear training section. When the answer is showing the new interval or chord is playing. It would be helpful to have a pause or a repeat with the answer showing before moving on, especially when I'm wrong..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Seems goodCan't hurt; that's for sure..Version: 0
✓ Great preference selectionWhew! After rolling the dice on several similar apps, and finding that the developers wanted piccolo players to learn bass clef, (why not Chinese and Sanskrit too?), I found this app. Covers every aspect of music, and allows control of preferences. X bass clef, in my case. Try this one first. Only annoyance ... Posting score is of no use or help to me. Wastes my priceless time. I'd like to loop back in instantly for another go. Not get social. I compete against myself...healthier..Version: 2.0.4
✓ Fantastic appA Wonder music app that has been put together with a great deal of thought and care. It provides excellent and clear exercises. Would strongly recommend this music app to anyone who is interested in music theory and improving one’s musical ear..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Pretty good for quick drillsKarajan was my go-to theory trainer but this has taken its place (at least for drills that involve staff reading). I wish the difficulty settings involved more than adding to the number of questions and turning types of chords on and off. It would be great if the note drills required you to read more ledger lines as well...I could really use some help with that..Version: 1.0
✓ Sight singI love this app. I have used it every day since I bought it for a measly dollar. I want to learn sight singing and this is the best tool I have found yet. I agree that the applause is distracting..Version: 1.0
