Theory Lessons in an attractive mobile app that captures the lessons feature of the website Musictheory.net. Although I have used the exercises featured (captured in the Tenuto app) much more with students, this is also a useful tool.
Visually, this is a very attractive app. I find it useful for differentiation – students who are significantly ahead of or behind the rest of the class can study music theory concepts independently. However, this is much more effective for advanced students than for beginners, because the lessons, while animated, are not interactive. This is not my preferred way to teach music theory concepts.
It is a useful reference, though. It is quite comprehensive. Some, but not all, of the lessons have a listening feature. The language is technical. I think these lessons are most useful for high school or adult students, while the Tenuto exercises can be used effectively by younger students.
