This app is designed as a supplemental for students to practice ear training in music theory. Currently, the app has 4 different training modules:
- Sight Reading
- Intervals (Melodic and Harmonic)
- Chords (Regular, 7th, basic progressions)
- Dictation (Rhythmic, melodic)
Right now, we have 2 modes for each section:
- Practice Mode (untimed, score is tracked)
- Survival Mode (timed, end score is recorded in high scores)
In both modes you will be practicing your ability to recognize notes and note formations.
Supported Devices: iPhone 5, 5s, 6, 6+ **This app is optimized for iPhone 5 or higher. Requires iOS 7.1 or later.
Pros and cons of UCLA Music Theory app for iPhone and iPad
UCLA Music Theory app good for
Im a 40 something musician, have played for enjoyment most of my life and never taken advanced music theory. I love this app and use it daily but its going to take a lot of practice before I can use many of the features. I wish there was an option to reduce the number of measures for the rhythm and dictation exercises and a feature to turn off the timer. The same goes for the chord progression exercises. An option to start with two or three chords instead of two measures and remove the timer would be helpful for users just starting out. Thank you.
First off, thank you for creating this app. This is a good, bare-bones ear training app. There are some bugs to iron out, such as some screens that dont keep score properly, or random crashes; and there are some ideas that are not executed well, such as the badges and the score matrix; but the app gets the job done!
