Music Theory

Learn to read and play music

Learn music theory the hands-on way — read each note on a real staff, then play it on the built-in piano. Every lesson runs Learn → Play → Test → Quiz, so you understand an idea, play it, prove it, and lock it in.

25 structured lessons cover the essentials:

  • Reading the staff — the treble clef, the lines and spaces, and ledger lines
  • The keyboard and note names, sharps and flats, whole and half steps
  • Major and minor scales, key signatures, and the circle of fifths
  • Melodic and harmonic intervals
  • Major, minor, and dominant seventh chords, inversions, arpeggios, and I–IV–V progressions
  • Rhythm and note values, dotted notes, the four-beat bar, and cadences

Each lesson pairs a clear explanation with audio and a guided play-along exercise on a responsive keyboard that lights up the next note (with finger numbers if you want them).

Plus:

  • Songs — learn real melodies note by note with a follow-along score
  • Sight-reading practice, an interactive Circle of Fifths, a theory glossary, and a Free Play piano sandbox with live chord detection
  • Quizzes, progress tracking, stars, and daily streaks to keep you moving

Built for complete beginners through early-intermediate players. Whether you're picking up an instrument or just want to understand how music works, this is a solid, playable foundation in the language of music.
