Tenuto

I 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.

it is a great software , the problem is does not change NOTE automatically, please add it if it is possible, thank you

I 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.

This app is impressive. I absolutely love how customizable it is, as my motivation was interval ear training. Since I am just beginning I can pare down how many intervals it questions me on, so I can get major third, perfect fifth, and octaves, later I'll add in perfect fourths etc. I've found that other apps and websites have an all-in approach that I can't imagine making any progress with. The customization also lets you choose to hear the interval (in an impressive number of instrumental timbres) again after you've selected the correct answer in an almost spelling bee like format: major third (plays interval) major third. And I haven't even mentioned yet that this app also has exercises relating notes on the staff to keyboard and guitar fretboards, key signature recognition, chord recognition... Easily the greatest value I've found in terms price to sheer amount of practice and information. Thank you musictheory.net!

I love this for everything: ear training, Notation practice, and guitar chord/scale id.... However, me being a guitar player i would like you to introduce more contemporary chords (6th and extended) or at least add sus2 chords

Love it. Would also love a rhythm module. To tap out rhythms in response to notation.

Love it!!! So helpful!!!

Normally 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.

This is a terrific interactive learning tool for music theory. I use it to test what I learn in its companion app, Theory. Highly recommended.

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!

I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve wasted playing Sudoku or other games while idle. Not any more! I started taking beginner piano and voice college classes last semester and, while continuing those this semester decided to add music theory where that teacher has us going to the Musictheory.net web site for supplemental lessons and practices. That site is so fabulous and valuable for my music studies that I decided to add the paid apps to my iPhone. Now, instead of wasting time in some game when idle, I open Tenuto for worthwhile brain-teasing in challenge mode. Carnegie Hall, here I come!

If you’re a musician, this is the app. It’s got all the stuff, well laid out and elegantly functional.

Picked up intervals very quickly using this app daily. That alone was more than worth it but the app offers a host of other features.

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!

This app is great. Most of the exercises are highly customizable. There are six main sections each containing a great selection of exercises - just about anything you would want. It’s an excellent trainer.

This 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.

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.

I 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.

Being able to customize the exercises makes this app great for musicians of beginning to experienced theory levels. A++++
