Tenuto for Positive User Reviews

I’d recommend it to anyone interested in learning musicI got this app because the online version had so many features, I thought the app would have more than I could imagine. It was very close, I would like it to have a rhythm transcriber with a metronome in the calculator section. Other than that, it’s a great app, worthy of every star..Version: 4.2

Dear drummersAs a person who plays the drums, I don’t really get to train my ears or read notes in terms of scales, chords and so on. This app is a perfect little tool to help my eyes and ears become more familiar with, recognizing, and understanding different sounds besides what the drums can produce. The app is simple and clean, easy to use and you can customize many things in it..Version: 4.0.4

ASuper cool.very satisfying.Version: 4.1.2

GreatOnly addition that i would like to see is a scale exercise in the staff based question section.Version: 1.2

Highly recommend by music teacherM we discussed this app earlier at CCS. I'm writing this review so you know you've got the correct app to help your daughter. I suggest all my pupils get this app. 'Accidentals of doom' great for grade 5 theory. Very useful for my students who are beginners to grade 5. But also useful for higher levels who need to check German 6ths etc..Version: 1.5.2

Mr twisterAbsolutely fantastic, reviews speak for themselves. It helps a lot practicing the notes on ledger lines in both cleves so yeah, great for those wishing to brush up reading scores.Version: 1.1

Good, but missing some thingsGood for the beginner ear trainer, but missing modes of melodic and harmonic minor. For chord dictation, there should be an option to list the inversions, as well as an option for chord progression ear training (with inversions). Great app otherwise..Version: 1.3.3

MusicWe need possibility to select only major or minor first or second inversion..Version: 1.3.4

Love It!All I need..Version: 1.5.2

Great appIve used this app for years now and it’s just what is needed. I was struggling to find an app that wasn’t going to try to teach me music theory, but just quiz me. It’s really helped in the speed to which I process and understand music! One quiz that would be great would be for a given scale, identify the fourth note ect. Alternatively an interval quiz that only uses note names and not sheet music so I can’t rely on familiar shapes..Version: 4.2

TenureIf they add more to it, it'll be awesome. Other than that, it's really good practice theory..Version: 1.6.2

A sound program of exercisesThis app really disciplines your music theory training by making you think. I particularly like the cool academic design; you can tell it is a serious music theory app from your initial encounter with it. Im discovering new ways of thinking and remembering notes and intervals on the guitar from working with this app. Wish i had it years ago..Version: 1.3.3

Fully Customisable and Great Experience!This app helped me learn rapidly, it’s so intuitive and easy to use with full customisability. Best music app out there!.Version: 4.1.2

I think goodI can’t speak of the app on its own but I’ve learned more on their website in 15 minutes than I have listening to hours of audiobooks. Music theory is such a dry subject I was considering a different hobby all together. Looks like I’ll keep at it 🤓.Version: 4.1.2

Small suggestion!An excellent app which is really helping my speed and understanding. There are still so many variations to work through that I expect this app to be in daily use for many months or years. My only suggestion to date (and I have not explored everything!) is that, while working through Interval Identification it would be useful to have the option to have the intervals displayed as “split” notes as well as stacked i.e. spread within a bar (measure). This would add further recognition patterns which would be frequently encountered in a score. I may come up with other suggestions as I work through it all but so far it has been brilliant and well worth the money..Version: 4.1.2

Fantastic appThis is such a good price for the multitude of exercises the app offers. I recommend it to anyone even slightly interested in improving their ear or musical knowledge. Highly customisable and well thought out. I'd pay £2.99 for the intervals exercises alone!.Version: 1.4.2

Cannot Say Enough Good Things About This AppIt’s the perfect way to reinforce what I’m learning while I’m away from the keyboard. I went from functionally illiterate to having a fluid ability to read within a couple weeks. I’m getting key signatures down, and reinforcing my understanding of modes along the way! But MOST importantly, this app didn’t spam me for a review ONCE!.Version: 4.2

BEST APP FOR MUSIC THEORY & PRACTICEI’m really happy about ! It’s clear, efficient and very powerful, I’m from the beginning and all the exercises are powerful ! Thanks you VERY MUCH to the developers !.Version: 4.2

Best in App StoreThis app taught me to read music, I use it everyday. It's a big help. Well done to the developers for making such a well thought out app..Version: 1.4

Wonderfully helpfulIf you need to brush up on your musical knowledge this app is amazing..Version: 1.6

Cadences and Inversions pleaseAn amazing and easily customizable app to work with! Excellent to practice for my piano exam. Could be complete with cadences as an option for ear training and with an option to test for inversions of minor and major triads in the chords ear training section. Overall a great app thank you!.Version: 2.0.3

Needs compound intervals!Great app - needs intervals of more than one octave though..Version: 1.4

Incredible Memorization ToolThis app is amazing for so many applications! I love it as a memorization tool for sight reading fretboard and sheet music notes. By gamifying the practice sessions, you can master these areas, which are tough to practice as effectively via any other means..Version: 4.2

SuggestionI love this app, it’s extremely useful! I really like how customizable all the exercises are. I just have minor suggestions for new content. I wish it had rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dictation exercises. It’d also be cool to have learning and interactive part writing exercises, like writing a piece and being able to play it with a play button to see how it sounds. Also, maybe some exercises regarding form like periods, cadences, etc. More music theory 2 & 3 stuff basically. Teoría has dictation exercises but I have to go on their website and I like Tenuto’s style for personalization a lot better..Version: 4.1.2

Very goodGet it. Comprehensive. Flexible. I use it alongside other apps like "ear trainer" and "right note". Good for guitar and piano. iPad and phone versions are both very good..Version: 2.1.4

Must have appEvery musician needs this app, great app for aural practice and basic theory. Definitely recommend it. 🎸.Version: 4.1

Simple and Brilliant...Infinite quizzes for essential music learning, including theory, reading and ear recognition. Many apps offer only a small fraction of what this does, and I know of none who make it so smooth, simple and appealing..Version: 4.1.1

Great! However...It would be better if you could have multiple chords on the analysis calculator.Version: 4.1.2

GREAT APPGreat product, well worth the buy, has helped me with on the go music study. although features like ear training for cadences, other contemporary used scales such as blues, pentatonic etc should be added to ear training and written scale identification. GUI is so easy to use also!.Version: 1.3.4

Great appFantastic! It combines all the exersizes of the website into one slick looking app. Only benefit would be extended chords above 7ths, hopefully a update will bring this at some point.Version: 1.1

Great CustomizabilityI really enjoy this app. I have had it for around eight years and have been consistently satisfied with its performance. I love how customizable it is so that any user can make meaningful progress. I would like it if there were a chord progression ear training exercise, but otherwise I can’t think of any way this app could be better. Excellent!.Version: 4.1.2

Great customizable practice and quizzesI am a beginner music theory student. From my experience, this app can be used for beginners on to practice theory learned elsewhere. It does not include theory lessons but instead contains many different kinds of customizable testing and practice tools. Some of the tools are not configured for beginners, (or perhaps simply not configured is a better description), and can be overwhelming if you just start using them out of the box. You can simply change the parameters to fit your skill level. There are a number of different tools for practicing notation reading, keyboard and fretboard identification, ear training, and more. For me as a self study music theory student this is really an excellent tool, which I imagine will remain useful as I continue to get more and more advanced. My thanks to the developers for being so thoughtful, this is a really helpful app for me and I expect one of the best practice tools for music theory learners..Version: 4.1.2

Great tool for musicians of all levelsThis is an awesome tool if you want to practice many events of music theory on the go - certainly worth the price of the app. The only feedback I could give would be in the “interval identification” section. It would be cool to be able to spread the notes more horizontally as they appear in real sheet music. In the current version the notes appear right on top of each other in a vertical line. Adding some horizontal space would be more applicable to reading music out in the wild..Version: 4.1.2

Fantastic ApplicationWonderfully comprehensive. This app contains so much, and is a great price. Is almost the only music app I need. The only thing it needs is an inversion tester. (both chords and intervals). I haven't found one in any apple apps yet. Tenuto is the most useful and well designed music theory application that I have seen. I definitely recommend it..Version: 1.2.1

Generally excellentIt offers superb exercises that you can tailor. The note finder for piano is great but the note finder for guitar fretboard (whilst useful) sounds like a piano. I'd also like to see a "scales and arpeggios" section as well as the randomised "note finder" sections. Gave it 4 stars but it deserves 4.5 really..Version: 3.0.3

Useful and Elegant!The exercises are brilliantly designed so they can be customised to whatever you need to work on. I'm faster at reading music than I ever though I could be!.Version: 1.2.2

PerfectGreat tool to develop your ear training in music! Very educational!.Version: 1.4.2

Goodbye doomscrolling, hello Tenuto!I love this robust, straightforward app -- it's a fantastic way to learn even if you only put in a few minutes a day. When I've got a little free time, instead of popping over to my favorite news sites to see how the world is falling apart, I open up Tenuto and learn some music stuff. Great app all around!.Version: 4.2

It's awesome but!It's missing a rhythm section. Would be five stars if it has it. Overall, it has an awesome interface. Much cleaner to the ones that are on the App store..Version: 1.1

Excellent! The best!This app is highly sophisticated, allowing you to customize each exercise for difficulty and many other parameters. It performs flawlessly ( the developer worked for Apple ), and the graphics are stunning. Each exercise is realistic and as demanding as you wish... you can go to advanced levels if you wish. Everything that is important and relevant to music theory is here. I grade this app A++, and I am very happy that I found it, I’m using it every day..Version: 4.0.4

Move the play buttonCan you please move the replay note button to the right hand side, away from the back button? I have never written a review for anything ever. That's how annoying it is. Otherwise this app rules. Going to use this everyday..Version: 2.1.2

Great for Training Perfect PitchI love how many little settings you can tweak here and there. By removing the reference tones at the beginning of some of the exercises, I've been able to brush up on my pitch memory and relative pitch to get an approximation of perfect pitch. I love how many instruments it gives you to pick from. No other ear training app comes close to the quality of this app..Version: 4.1.2

Wonderful AppEvery musician should have this app under their belt. You can’t beat the knowledge and the skills you get with consistently using this app. Do it for like 5 minutes instead of checking social media, and you’ll thank yourself that you did..Version: 4.2

Very HelpfulThis is a very comprehensive app and requires patience to get to grips with. It’s worth every penny and I have learnt a huge amount with. I bought it in conjunction with music theory app. The test sections are excellent..Version: 4.0.4

Great applicationHi I am a music teacher and this app is great to help students review intervals and as an ear training tool it is also good for guitarists that want to identify notes and keyboardists to help them learn new chords at the piano. I am very impressed with this app.Version: 1.1

Essential Maintenance ToolThis app is a must have for the musician wanting to keep his theoretical practise in check. I often use it for ten minutes or so during breaks to challenge my knowledge, and help retain my edge. As they say, use it or lose it! Probably my most valuable app..Version: 1.4

Keyboard Chord IDProbably, the best of its kind. Improvements? Key change customization in the Keyboard Chord Identification exercise. Nice dark theme, but the exercise staffs, clefs, notes, etc., should be white on dark grey or black. Because the dark mode as it is, defeats the purpose: one’s eyes adjust to a dark room, you launch the app in dark mode and your eyes are fine, but once the exercise is presented your shocked with bright white light and the entire dark mode thing is moot..Version: 4.2

Awesome app!Really useful app, nothing to criticise except that it would be good to add 'fretboard reverse identification', as it was done with the keyboard identfication. Perhaps just one octave as a whole 22 frets might be a bit much... Anyway thanks for this great app and the regular updates! :).Version: 1.3.3

Neat but could've been even betterIt's made very well. If would much better if it had these: 1. A fretboard where I can see all the notes on it so you can learn and remember them THEN practice. It could be a button "Show/Hide all notes on fretboard" or whatsoever. 2. Note sounds in Fretboard Note Identification. When I choose the answer it should play the note. That'd be much more helpful as well. Thank you..Version: 1.3.1

A must have for staff trainingIf 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..Version: 4.1.1

Best AppThis app by far is the best one there is. I think I paid $4 for it but I can use it forever. You can adjust the activity to a few things or everything. For example if you want to identify certain scales or chords you can select a few you want to practice on or practice all of them. One thing I wish they would add is an analysis activity. They have the analysis calculator (which helps a lot) but it’d be cool to add the analysis activity so we can practice on that instead of going to the calculator. Other than that everything is perfect. Will update in a few months if anything changes!.Version: 4.1.2

Professionally designedI 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.).Version: 4.1.1

Worth itGood practice.Version: 2.1.4

Highly usefulI bought this app over a month ago and still use it regularly. Perfect for training your ear and theory skills anywhere you go. Nice and sleek looking and working too. Much more use yet to come. You can start easy as you want and tweak the exercises as you improve your skills..Version: 1.5.2

It’s perfectThere are so many different ways to quiz your brain on identification and reverse identification of chords, scales, notes, etc. Daily use of this *will* especially strengthen your aural identification of intervals, and of everything else. Customization is generously allowed; no part of this app needs improvement!.Version: 4.1.2

Muse have for instrumental teachersWorks offline. A must have app for teaching music theory and instrumental music..Version: 4.1.2

Really good, but...The only thing I wish could be added is melodic and harmonic minor modes to scale recognition and 6th, 9th, 11th and 13th chord extensions to chord recognition. A melodic dictation section would also be handy Otherwise this is a perfect app for me as a drummer studying music. Quick, easy to use, plenty of options and very helpful! Cheers Tenuto!.Version: 2.1

Everything I ever wanted for music theoryNormally I don’t write reviews but my God I’ve been wanting an app like this for the longest time. I’ve gone through so many bad music theory apps I almost gave up but this is completely worth the money. Beautiful interface, perfect for guitarists/piano players wanting to learn music theory/read music or even vocalists as well..Version: 4.1.2

Absolutely fantastic!This app is great. It's clean, easy to understand, you can customize your exercises and the interval recognition part is fantastic!! Also I'm very happy to only have paid $5 for this app. I would've paid $10. The quality of this app is great. Why haven't you bought this app yet??? 👍👍👍👍👍 🎤🎺🎷🎸.Version: 1.1

The most helpful music app out thereThe 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..Version: 4.1

Great app!Very handy and useful app for a studying music student. What would be a helpful expansion on the app would be to include an inversion option for the chord analysis. Still very handy with what is here..Version: 2.0.1

WowCannot recommend highly enough.Version: 1.3.3

Best music practice app out thereI'm a piano teacher, and I recommend this app to all of my students and colleagues. There is no better or more inclusive app out there. Some apps are a waste of money. This one is NOT. It's worth more than they charge (but please don't raise the price - my students actually buy it because it's affordable). Seriously, get this app. Oh yeah my PS: INCREDIBLY customizable to ANY student's learning needs, from the most basic beginner to the most advanced student..Version: 2.1.2

Amazing for a music studentI am in the university for music education and ear training is a crucial part of my program. Using this app a couple times a day has improved my Ability to recognize intervals, scales ect. Amazing and worth it.Version: 1.5.1

Music. It Helps Me Allot On Piano And Other Music And I Love This App.Version: 4.0.4

Best AppAs a music student this app is fantastic for helping me with my studies. I use it anywhere on the go. Can’t fault it, it’s helped me learn so much..Version: 4.0.4

TenutoThe best program online for ear training!! This WILL be the reason for my results in year 12 :))) the beat way to study and achieve is with this app!!.Version: 1.0.1

Perfect!I have never given an app a 5 star rating. This one IS that good. Are you serious about Music Theory? Then why are you still reading this? BUY IT NOW!.Version: 1.5.2

Passed test with this!!Passed my theory test with this app and there other one absolute fantastic app.Version: 1.3.3

Great app,Love the app, very useful. One thing that would be nice if it was added is chord progressions..Version: 4.1.2

AwesomeBest music theory app made by the guy who made the best music theory website!.Version: 1.1

Descending ScalesThis is an excellent app which can be easily configured for the different ABRSM Music Theory Grades. How about including descending scales in the Scale Identification and Scale Construction features ? Performance Directions would also be welcome, but then I suppose the app would look too much like an ABRSM app which may not be what the designers intended.Version: 4.1

Builds speed and accuracyVery useful app if you wish to improve your ear training and sight reading skills. You can configure the various exercises to suit your skill level and then build up your abilities gradually. I would recommend this app for anyone studying music..Version: 1.5.3

An App Worthy to be on Every Phone!I’m not new to Tenuto as I purchased the app shortly after its original release years ago in order to keep practicing the skills I gained during my undergrad music studies. As a professional musician and guitar teacher now, I thought I’d finally leave a review for this magnificent app that is simply invaluable to anyone who is striving to become a well-rounded musician. If you are a musician, fledgling artist, music student at any level, get this app! The training you can put yourself through by adding a few minutes of ear training or sightreading training to your practice routine will be invaluable - you’ll really be on top of your game in theoretical knowledge, when playing with others, etc. It’s the real deal! As I continue using it in my routine, I always find it useful and recommend it to all of my students. It’s an app truly worthy to stay on your phone, unlike many other throwaway apps..Version: 4.1.2

Very usefulThe only problem with this app is it's more fun than learning Italian vocabulary. I like how I can tell it to ignore the easy bits (C,F,G key signatures; P1, P8 intervals) and focus on the harder ones. I can tell it to do all the chords I should know, or just a few (dim and dim7). The option to play melodic or harmonic chords or both is great. Currently I'm working on white-key intervals, but tomorrow I'll go back to key signatures and accidentals. For now, though, back to drilling vocab. Not nearly as much fun..Version: 1.3.4

Must have app.If you have any aspirations to become better in music, you will find something useful here. Even if you don't care to learn music theory, the ear training section alone is worth $4..Version: 4.1.2

Consider adding SRS learning to the appNo doubt, the app is well laid out and super helpful. Wether you are just brushing up sight reading or pushing your theory brain a little there’s plenty good. I would love to be able to have the same app with SRS learning built into it’s quizing. Essentially the stuff you get right you see less often, the stuff you get wrong comes up more frequent. Just that little tweak to the next-in-queue selection process would really be helpful..Version: 4.1.2

Can use daily without being discouragedI tried a couple of free ear training apps and found them frustrating and discouraging. I won’t say it’s fun but it doesn’t turn me off of the process of ear training..Version: 4.2

Great appReally useful has helped me learn lots I highly recommend this app if you easily want to learn music in your own.Version: 4.1.2

Best Music App!I have dozens of music apps on my phone. By far, this is the one I open and use the most. It offers so many things and the look, layout and design is wonderful! It’s Easy to use and intuitive. I’m a guitar player and the hours I’ve spent doing fretboard exercises alone has made this app priceless to me. I credit this app with helping me finally memorize the notes on the fretboard. Thanks to the developers. Keep up the great work!.Version: 4.1.2

Great appGreat.Version: 2.1.4

Great appJust started playing the piano, this is great for learning to read music, I don't often rate apps but this one is great, are your learning the piano? BUY THIS NOW!.Version: 1.5.1

Great ear trainer!J'ai essaye plusieurs ear trainer Mai's celui la est parfait pour moi. Il manque juste une chose a mon avis, c'est un test de note. J'aimerais pouvoir entendre une note et choisir la bonne reponse . I've tried a couple of ear trainer and this one work really well for me. The only thing that it miss is note earring test(perfect pitch test) you can ear test scale you don't have note test (ear)..Version: 1.1

😊😁This app is awesome it helped me so much its made playing the piano so much easier🎹😀👏☺️😄.Version: 4.1.2

Needs chord progressionsGreat app, helps me with all the ear training required in my year twelve music course, except aurally recognizing chord progressions. Please include this in a future update!.Version: 1.4

Brill but limitedExcellent! Just like the website and exactly as described! Would have Been perfect if the chord identifier had gone past 7ths.Version: 1.1

Note Filter5 stars for the new "note filter" on fretboard identification..Version: 4.1

Fantastic App for sight reading & fretboard memorizationI have been using this app for a while now to retrain myself on sight reading, intervals, and improve my ear note recognition. Best feature for myself is the fretboard mode where you can drill yourself on note placement. Loses a star though as the developer didn't include reverse identification like they did with piano; a much needed feature for those drilling themselves for sight reading with stringed instruments..Version: 2.1.4

A must for every musiciansI would highly recommend this application for every musicians. Tenuto is the tool you need to practice your reading skills and practice your ear. Only thing that is missing here is dictations, but I can't complain!.Version: 2.1.4

Amazing !I dreamed of having an app like this so I could practise sight reading on-the-go! But now it's here! This app is a must have for all beginner and expert musicians, everything is just perfect ! :).Version: 1.5.3

So much awesome for $4I have a bunch of other piano and sight reading apps. This one does everything they do and more, and does most of it better than any of the others. Stop looking and just download this one - it’s the best one, and it’s cheaper than buying all the others that I bought..Version: 4.1.2

Helping me reach my solfege goals.I love this app. I use it for ear training exercises every day. Each exercise can be modified appropriately to help scaffold your abilities (I'm a relative beginner) and I can see significant improvements in my performance on interval identification, chord identification, and scale identification after only a few weeks. My only criticism -well, it's more of a wish- is that it had cadence identification activities, as that is something I'm also working on, and I'm sure Tenuto would design it 10x better than the other apps I've downloaded for it..Version: 2.0

Awesome music theory appGreatest theory app out there!.Version: 4.2

Best drills appFantastic for learning how to read music using drills.Version: 4.1.2

Amazing App and Crazy HelpfulThe functionality of this app could not be any better. From learning to mastering notes this app will do everything you need it to and more. So helpful! I could not have spent my money in a better way!.Version: 4.0.4

Buy!This app is great. Everything a musician could want for theory practice and can be used offline which is great for commuting. Would highly recommend and is great value for money!.Version: 1.6.2

Students and Teachers MUST have this appI’ve always had a passion for music and over the last year I‘ve been trying to learn Piano, Guitar and Bass guitar. I struggled with reading Grand Staff, fretboard identification and chord/scale identification on frets and piano. But this app’s customizable exercises let me practice all these things at ANY time. Waiting for lunch? Practice time. Long Uber ride? Practice time. Hiding from my boss in the bathroom? Practice time. After a few months I could read music and I could identify notes on the fretboard. Now I’m working on chord and scale identifications on the fretboard and my music theory has progressed substantially. I told my teacher about the app and he was excited that you even had the option to learn in Solfege. His only request from the Tenuto team is to update the Solfege to use di, ra, ri etc instead of Do#, Re#, Reb etc. My teacher has sold this app to 4 of his students so far and they have reported substantial improvement in sight reading. Must have app. Worth every penny..Version: 4.1.2

Perfect for ear trainingThe only feature of this app I use is the ear training, but that alone was worth the purchase price. I'm in my second year of a music degree and this app is, bar none, the best I've found for practicing for my ear training class..Version: 1.5.1

Great but..I wish there were challenges/games so the app was more fun. Other than that, it is great!.Version: 2.0.2

Everything you needIt has everything you need! So much customization allows you do hit your weeks spots. The only features I would add is maybe some sort of way for the app to suggest areas where you are weak. Maybe a guided path to master some things like intervals. And maybe some explanations..Version: 4.2

HelpfulLots of useful utilites here. App works fine on my ipad..Version: 2.1.1

Invaluable tool for musiciansThe best app for learning music. Hugely customisable and an expansive range of activities and tools. Great interface than prioritises usability. Faultless..Version: 4.0.4

Great appI’m just learning music theory and guitar. This is a great tool for learning. You can’t drill this tuff enough,.Version: 4.1.2

Excellent. Truly comprehensive.As someone trying to teach themselves music theory and develop their ear, Tenuto has been invaluable. I work on it everyday. I've also shown it to a number of professional musicians and university lecturers and they've all found it equally useful. Great resources, wide variety of exercises, easy and accessible. One of the few times I've felt compelled to review an app..Version: 1.5.2

BrilliantWhat more can I say? This app is just superb. It is highly customisable and is helping me really firm up my musical foundations. I use it currently to test my chord shapes in Challenge mode, 50 chords and see how long it takes to name the chord, name the scale degree of the root note and to play it. Saying this out loud really helps drum it in. When I get below 5 minutes for 50 with no mistakes I change to another key..Version: 4.2

Superb for beginners or advancedI am an absolute beginner to the piano - I saw the website the author runs and it was so good I bought this program. I was not disappointed! It offers a multitude of self tests for recognising notes on stave and keyboard (and guitar fret) that are very intuitive to use. For the more advanced, it tests recognition of intervals, chords and keys. I would definitely recommend it to anyone learning musical theory, piano or guitar..Version: 1.0.1

Fantastic Theory App.Beautifully presented app which gives you a clear, clean and highly relevant basic music theory. Learn just what they are teaching you...and you'll be well prepared for your musical journey. A really top app!.Version: 1.6.2

Great App!!This is a great little app for my music theory exercises. I love how it covers everything you could need. Love it!!.Version: 1.5.3

Amazing AppI'm not a teacher, but I love using this app to keep my ear training sharp. Also the guitar fretboard exercise is AWESOME. The ability to improve your guitar skills without a guitar in your hand is such a valuable resource. Only adjustment I would make is have the user name specific chords on the chord fretboard exercise, not just chord types. And add bass and mandolin/violin :).Version: 3.0.3

Great appOnly missing one thing. A high score 'game' or 'test' option, that would be a great motivator..Version: 1.2.1

Ideal, just what I neededJust started to get back into music and got this as I knew it would help. Very useful for those times on the train when you are wanting to put your time to better use. Helping me to tune my ear and learn the notes on the guitar. It has lots of useful feature offline. Nice app.Version: 1.6.3

Good but could be betterI would urge my school district to purchase this if: - completed assignment score would automatically be entered into the district gradebook - the piano pop-up from the website (especially the mark feature) was included - more control over levels for excercises. For instance, level 3 to level 4 can be quite a leap!.Version: 4.1.2

ExcellentAn excellent app for those whose aural skills leave a little to be desired. I have mostly used the interval training, which is extremely good. I must explore the rest of the app, when I am good enough at those!.Version: 3.0.2

Great AppI have found this App fantastic in helping develop my chord knowledge and fretboard understanding. Would highly recommend to all..Version: 1.5.3

Great appOne of the few apps I have bought that I truly cannot find any faults with. A really nice mobile interface with the quality I have come to expect from musictheory.net. It would be hard to imagine an app that does it any better!.Version: 1.1

Excellent app for learning the fret boardI’m a guitarist. After many years playing the guitar this is the first tool which has really helped me to learn the fretboard. The fact that you can customise each exercise allows you to focus on you weaknesses, and improve them before moving on. I’ve used about 5% of the app exercises so far so still a lot to learn but looking forward to the journey..Version: 4.2

Knowledge makes a great musician!And this is the app for knowledge..Version: 3.0.3

Great appGreat app. Worth the money. Customizable exercise. Really well done.Version: 2.1.1

UsefulGenuinely useful app that is making a difference to my musical ability..Version: 2.1.2

Worth itI’m an adult music baby. Been playing piano just over 2 years and am finally learning theory 🤩 I’ve been using this app to help my ear training mostly, but now that I have learned a small bit of theory, this app is proving to be very useful! Absolutely worth it..Version: 4.1.2

Wow!I’m only nine and I’m only learning piano and it feels like music is my life this app is amazing guys. The people that gave it like one star are just weird!.Version: 4.1.2

Very usefulI bought this app after going to their website. So useful. Helped me learn ear training quickly..Version: 2.1.2

Music Majors Best FriendThis app has been absolutely phenomenal for me especially as a music major! Whenever I was having trouble identifying an interval or chord, I could literally get on the app and drill myself over and over until I callus hear the difference and it has made me a better musician!!.Version: 4.0.4

Brill!Great little app, handy tool in the studio - totally recommended especially for the price..Version: 1.1

Incredbly usefulChords and notes and scales and theory. Compact. Can catch a few intervals when I have a few minutes. Or do last thing at night in bed. Its a great little app. Thankyou..Version: 4.2

Perfect AppAs a piano teacher I had struggled to find an app that would help my students learn to read the music. When I found Tenuto I couldn't believe my luck! For the price I think the app is a must have for any teacher. The new update with the grand staff is much better that just flicking between the treble and the bass clefs. Only thing that I believe would make it better would be to be able to choose the notes exactly that you would like to appear. Interval ear training is great for my students who need to practise for their aural exams. Best few pound I ever spent!.Version: 1.4.1

The app is perfect but missing something importantAside from what I'm about to say, the app is amazing, the best really. But you should be able to see how often you get any given thing wrong, and with what you confuse it with. This would be a tremendously good tool for everyone. If you always confuse the same two intervals together for example, then just practice the two until the problem is solved..Version: 4.2

Great appTenuto has helped me pass many musical exams. It's a great app to improve your skills. However, there should be an option to do the intervals from one note. I've already tried changing the range but it doesn't allow me to. Please help and this will be five stars :).Version: 1.6.2

Fantastic AppI use this app all the time for my students, especially those who struggle with note reading, chord ID and fretboard ID (I’m a guitar teacher) I recommend it fully to anyone who either would like to develop greater reading skills (regardless of your level, you can benefit from sharper skills!)..Version: 1.6.2

Excellent A+Very convenient, I've brushed up on my sight reading skills tremendously in a short space of time. I recommend this to any level musician..Version: 1.5.1

Meilleur appMeilleur app que j’ai trouvé.Version: 4.1.1

More improvements for auralHi i was wondering if you could add chord inversions for the aural..Version: 2.0

Great app!Everything you could possibly need..Version: 1.2.2

Nice theory quiz app helps learn reading and intervalsNot a tutorial. Does not explain anything or even itself though. If you need something to explain what m3 means versus M3 then you may find this app confusing. The ability to customize is what makes this app good. Range of sight reading notes. Key signatures. Clefs. Etc..Version: 4.1.2

Very good appI’ve found Tenuto helps me a great deal in ear training. I’m at an elementary level, so do only intervals and occasionally scales. In short, I’m so far using only a small fraction of the app’s potential. One suggestion: it would be useful to be able to train descending intervals as well as ascending..Version: 4.2

TenutoI've recommended musictheory.net to students for years. So glad this is out!!! Excellent music theory tutor!.Version: 1.0.1

Greatest music appThis is such a great app. I've found it invaluable for practicing music theory... fantastic!.Version: 4.0.2

Very usefulYou won't regret spending time with that app!.Version: 1.5.2

YepStill the Best!.Version: 1.5.1

MmmmGreat for music theory study!.Version: 1.1

Awesome for any musicianMy experience with Tenuto has been great. As a guitar player (also working an 8-5) having the opportunity to train my ears while I'm away from the axe has proven invaluable in my overall improvement as a musician. The app is incredibly user-friendly and customizable. Keep up the great work guys!.Version: 4.0.2

Does so much, easy to useUser-friendly and feature-rich. Helps me review things I once knew well and to explore skills that I never had the chance to develop before. Well done..Version: 4.1.2

A must-have for every theory student and musician alike!Every bit of this app is invaluable to anyone wanting to improve heir musical talent..Version: 1.1

BrilliantI love this app. Simple and elegant. Amazing tool. If I could make one suggestion for a future feature (hopefully you are still keeping this updated) speech recognition would be amazing. If I could say the note name or interval or what have you out loud I would avoid having my thumb muscle memory become what is trained and my explicit capacity to recall the information would be trained more deeply. That would be amazing!.Version: 4.1.2

Excellent AppGreat app which has helped me immensely with music theory and aural training. I'd love a rhythmic dictation feature, melodic transcription would also be a huge bonus..Version: 1.6.2

Very goodI use most of the tools in this app and they have been very helpful. I have played guitar for decades but didn’t put in a lot of time in theory. This app helps with things like interval identification and even note identification on the neck, among other things. Very nicely made. I recommend it for a useful way to improve your knowledge of sight reading and general theory..Version: 4.1.2

Absolutely BEST app for music majorsIdk why I’m just now writing a review for this app as I’ve had it for years lol but this is the only thing that kept me going in my music degree. It helped me immensely with music theory and ear training classes. I even double checked my work in this app using the calculators. I recommend this app to anyone I come across who is a musician or music major. Best app ever, I don’t know if I could live without it!!.Version: 4.2

Pitch PerfectI've been using musictheory.net for years and I'm loving their new apps. The UI is beautiful and the price is well worth supporting the site/not paying for a generic theory book. I love the interactivity of the app (the way music should be learned) and with a few small bug fixes this app will be perfect. Thanks! : D.Version: 1.1

Very UsefulGreat app. I'm using it for revision for NCEA!!! Highly recommend to anyone who plays any instrument!.Version: 1.3.4

Autoplay function??This is a great app - one of the best sight-reading/ear-training apps on the market. However, it REALLY needs an autoplay function. Having to press buttons on the screen makes this app impractical for sight-reading practice with an instrument. If the user had the option of an ‘autoplay’ function, in which notes/intervals/chords were flashed at a rate of say, one per second, without having to touch the screen, the app’s usefulness as a practice aid would be hugely improved. Please consider!.Version: 4.1.2

GreatGood for study.Version: 1.3

Great for any musicianThis app is awesome for anybody struggling with music theory, or just wants to be quicker at reading and improve their aural skills.Version: 1.1

Amazing appThis app is simply awesome. I had tried the web version and was very impressed by all the possibilities. However, in order to be the ultimate app for music learning for all levels, it should enable the use of instruments through MIDI, so that the users can learn to sightread. In addition, some rhythm exercises would be a great addition to the app. Looking forward to future updates!!!.Version: 4.1

Great app but needs...Drills where you need to input things onto the fretboard, for example drawing in a scale/mode around an octave shape.Version: 4.1.2

CjbWhilst many think a tutorial would have been nice , this app Somehow made me self reach myself :) its incredible and perfect for beginners or experienced players :D well worth the wait and the money.Version: 1.1

SuggestionOn the keyboard interval and chord identification games please add the option of a fixed starting note..Version: 4.2

Amazing for teachingThis app has not only helped me, an experienced piano player, but I have used it with my piano students for ear training and reading and it has helped them a lot. The only thing I think could improve the app was that if there was a teaching mode. For example, if someone doesn’t know what the Aeolian scale is, there could be a place in the app where they can go for a reference. Other than that, the app is simply a blessing. Thank you.Version: 4.1.2

Learn to sight read without picking up your instrument.Awesome app. Just a minute a day will dramatically improve your sight reading and note identification. Lots of options to adjust exercises to your level. A reverse fretboard note identification exercise would be a great addition..Version: 1.3.2

Simple training on the goGreat for killing time waiting for trains, or for practicing at home..Version: 1.5.3

Great app for ear trainingGot it, definitely worth the price. So far I only used it for ear training, and I love it. Haven’t even used the other features. Customisation of exercises is great. Only downside is that the instrument output always seems to be piano and doesn’t change when I set it to acoustic guitar. But nothing horrible. Totally recommend it..Version: 4.1.2

Phenomenal app for music theoryAbsolutely amazing application. It definitely favors the piano with this theory, however the applications in regards to the note readings translate to any instrument. There is also a great tool to get a good understanding of the guitar strings and notes. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a audio or visual learning method / an interactional learning style. Books are one thing. This app is real time, fun, practice..Version: 1.2.1

Music theoryI'm using this right now to review notes since I haven't played my clarinet since high school(on a regular basis). I'm now learning more music theory so these exercises will be a big help. The key signature recognition is great. As soon as I get a chance to use the rest of the exercises I will leave a second feedback..Version: 4.1.2

Good and deepHonestly I’m blown away by how much settings you can adjust with each exercise. I’m a total beginner and I recognize how far this will take me. I tried a few free ones and nothing comes close. If you are serious about music get this app..Version: 4.1.2

Great for LearningThis app is great for anyone. I'm currently studying a bachelor of music and it helps me so much! Easy to use, with many different settings and exercises from beginner to advance! Does suck the battery up quicker then usual but it still survives through a whole day of use..Version: 1.2.1

Good app for your reading skillz..Good, clean, intuitive interface for testing your knowledge on strings and keys.. Use it every day!.Version: 2.0.2

FantasticReally Helpful app. Will get me through my degree for sure.Version: 1.2.2

Perfect for the intermediate musicianThis app is perfect if you already have a working knowledge of basic to intermediate music theory. Between sight reading training, ear training, chord identification, and more, it’s a perfect set of drills to help keep yourself sharp. I’ve been doing a handful of drills every morning for 30 minutes and can already feel the effects in my playing, composing, and arranging. Best of all, there’s no ridiculous subscription model - you’re one and done, no ads, no locked extra content. Folks giving this 1 star may be looking for a beginner app, which this is not remotely trying to be and shouldn’t be judged as..Version: 4.1.2

Couldn't ask for more from a music theory app.First thing you'll notice is the simplicity of the menu. No frills. Gets you right in the action. So much stuff to do without feeling overwhelming. Exercises for keyboard and fretboard. Very fast response, no slow down what so ever. Every exercise I've tried so far has a practice mode and challenge mode. Ear training is fun to use. No complaints whatsoever. Well worth $3.99.Version: 3.0.3

Great teaching toolAs a piano teacher, I use this app more than any other for note reading and ear training. While it basically doubles the exercises found on MusicTheory.net, that's a good thing because my students can either use their computer or their iPad to work on exercises at home..Version: 1.3.4

Great app, just wish there was one more mode.I love this app and the note identification ear training helps me a lot. I just wish there was a mode where it plays a chord and you have to choose exactly what chord it is, kind of like the note identification. There is a mode where you pick what type of chord (major, minor, etc) but there isn’t a mode where you chose what chord it actually is (c major, d# minor). For now I just have to close my eyes and press there random notes on the piano for that, so I hope that is something they add in the app later. But even without that this app is amazing and was 100% worth the purchase..Version: 4.1.2

Tenuto appAbsolutely the best theory and composition app I have come across. I recommend this to anyone who is serious about improving their visual and aural skills in music. Bravo tenuto!!!!!.Version: 2.1

Fantastic appReally helped me out with intervals, and the only music theory app I've found with any kind of polish. Does exactly what it wants to do really well..Version: 1.4

I love the websiteI only bought this app because of the website. It has helped me greatly, so I have purchased this..Version: 2.1.2

First ClassAn excellently thought out and well presented application with a host of truly musical features end no gimmicks. Excellent value, well done to the developers and thank you..Version: 4.1.1

Amazing music appThe best app out there for ear training!.Version: 4.1.2

FretboardI thought that learning the note names on the guitar fretboard was an impossible feat, but i used tenuto and now i've memorized them all. Haven't used the other features but that alone was worth it..Version: 1.1

Major/minorHi I absolutely love the app. It has helped a lot with my theory. With the next update can you have the option of having a mixture of both major & minor key signatures . Please look at the theory exams to help expand the app. Thanks :).Version: 1.2.2

Almost Perfect!Excellent app! I use it in the classroom with a projector to teach school students and university students the basics of music theory (especially key signatures and intervals identification). With this in mind, the only thing it's missing is a section on all the major and minor scales written on a staff using the various clefs! At the moment, there are very few apps in the App Store that have this function (most apps seem to prefer demonstrating scales on pianos or guitar fretboards). Even those apps that do use the musical staff are not useable for projectors or large screens because the user interface is too busy with so much detail that it makes the staff and notes a very small part of the screen. What music teachers want is a staff with a scale written on it that takes up the whole screen-so it's clear and students can easily read it! If Tenuto had this functionality it would make the app perfect!! Sent from my iPad.Version: 2.0

Almost perfect!The exercises work great for my ear training and theory practice. However, I’d like to see a better way of measuring and viewing score progress over a longer period of time. You should be able to see old scores within the app and something like a graph that shows your progress would work too..Version: 4.1.2

Feature RichThe icing on the cake would be support for midi. Bought it to support dev. of such feature in future!.Version: 1.5.3

The best music and theory app imaginableThis app helps you learn everything you need to play your instrument and understand music theory. My piano teacher recommended it and she’s the best, but if I had to go without one of them for a while, I’d keep this first!.Version: 4.1.2

Adequate app for ear trainingI think Tenuto has great ear training exercises. I use them almost everyday 10 minutes on chords, scales, intervals, and notes. It has great benefits from training that can really be translated into real world hearing experiences. I love this app. I’d buy it 5 times the price of it now and the ear training works very well. 4 stars since it doesn’t have as many scales and chords as id like it to..Version: 4.1.2

My favorite music theory appMy favorite music theory app.Version: 4.1.2
