Aural training
Hear notes, intervals and sonorities and recognise them with confidence.
Interval ear training
Hear two notes and identify the interval – ascending, descending or together.
Practise →Recognise chords
Hear a triad or seventh chord and name its quality.
Practise →Hear scales
Hear a scale ascending and identify its type – major, minor or modal.
Practise →Melodic dictation
Hear a short melody and play it back on the keyboard.
Practise →Tuning & cents
Tune an out-of-tune note with the cent slider – with a real audio example.
Practise →Note reading
Read and place notes in the treble clef with confidence.
Read notes
A note appears in the treble clef – name it from the options given.
Practise →Key signatures & keys
Read the accidentals in the key signature and name the major key.
Practise →Notes on the fretboard
Find the note you are asked for on the guitar fretboard (standard tuning).
Practise →Build chords
Put together the chord you are asked for on the keyboard.
Practise →Theory
Consolidate note names, enharmonic equivalents and the circle of fifths.
Name notes
A note appears – type in its name (C, C♯/H … or Do, Re …). Note names follow German usage, where H is the note called B in English.
Practise →Match enharmonics
Match each ♯ spelling to the ♭ spelling that sounds the same.
Practise →Circle of fifths
Find the key you are asked for in the circle of fifths and click its segment.
Practise →Rhythm
Hear rhythms and tap them back.

Why practise?
Music theory is not understood by reading alone, but through short, regular practice. Just a few minutes a day sharpen the ear and consolidate what was covered in the lesson. Every module is deliberately kept small: listen or look, answer, get immediate feedback – and move on.
