FOR TEACHERS:

Theta Music Trainer is ideal for use in the music classroom or studio.

Here are some of the ways teachers around the world are using Theta Music Trainer:

- Introduce new concepts through games
One of the great things about games is that they provide immediate feedback in real time. Students are often quicker to grasp new music theory concepts when they are presented in a game format.

- Use games in place of drills
Rather than giving your students tedious drills, you can use games to reinforce key concepts taught in class. The necessary repetition becomes much more palatable to students in a game environment.

- Assign games for homework
Not only will your students love this, but you can get true assessments of each student's ability in a wide range of areas including scales, rhythms, chords, tuning and more - without spending a huge amount of time grading.

- Hold classroom competitions
Choose a game for your desired area for practice and see who can complete the most levels. Students can compete individually or in teams. You can even have classrooms compete against one another.

Teaching aural skills and music theory can be tough. Many students have a hard time grasping the basic concepts and struggle with the repetition needed for mastery. Games inject an element of variety and fun into the development of basic music skills. Students become inspired, motivated and engaged in music learning. Have fun and save time as your students develop core music skills in an engaging and effective way.

Ratings and reviews

Updating review 9 year later: unfortunately still 1 star. Now none of the games work, loading spinner just spins away. And I can't even sign in with a "Single Sign On" account like I can on the website. Will update rating if these issues are fixed! Please fix the app. It constantly crashes on android. Also, key signatures are visibly jumbled. Please fix, I am paying a lot for a subscription.

The games are good and I can see that they will improve my musical ear. However the design of the app is appalling. The interface is clunky, buggy and looks amateurish, which would be fine for a free app but for a not insubstantial subscription it should be vastly better than this. Really it needs a rewrite from the ground up and the team need to employ a proper UI designer and a developer skilled in writing modern apps. As it is I just don't think the quality is there to justify the cost.

The app is great. Has a good number of ear training games and exercises, although pretty expensive. However, the team's response is poor, i have sent email twice regarding how could i change virtual piano to a virtual guitar in app, still havn't received a reply after weeks yet.
