Music Theory Advanced •
This text describes a comprehensive Music theory program that covers notes, key signatures, intervals, chords, and rhythms. The program is designed to test musicianship skills at an advanced level and includes an Ear Training mode for notes, intervals, and chords that quizzes audio only. Rhythms can be customized from easy to challenging. The quizzes support Treble, Alto, Tenor, and Bass clefs. Users can set the roots for intervals and chords to be random or user-defined for each question. The program allows users to set a specific number of questions or grade only the number answered.
The Notes module tests music notation and piano keyboard knowledge. Key Signatures covers major and minor keys as well as the seven diatonic modes, with the ability to set a separate maximum number of sharps or flats for the quiz. Intervals includes simple and compound intervals played harmonically or melodically in both upward and downward directions. The intervals covered include major, minor, diminished, augmented 2nds, 3rds, 6ths, 7ths, and diminished, perfect, and augmented 4ths, 5ths, and octaves.
Chords include triads and seventh chords played harmonically or melodically in upward, downward, or broken patterns. Triads consist of major, minor, diminished, and augmented chords. Seventh chords include dim7, min7(b5), min7, min(maj7), dominant7, maj7, dominant7(#5), and maj7(#5).
The Rhythms module tests rhythmic and polyrhythmic skills, allowing users to develop hand independence with two lines of rhythms. Customizable options include up to 16 measures in time signatures of 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, or 5/4, with one or two lines of rhythms and up to 3 pitches per line. Users can also include specific note/rest values and exclude grading durations for percussionists. The module includes a range of note/rest values such as Whole, Half, Quarter, Eighth, Sixteenth, Dotted Half, Dotted Quarter, Dotted Eighth, Triplet Half, Triplet Quarter, and Triplet Eighth.
The program also features a Grade Book that lists all saved quiz results. Users can print or send the Grade Book, and it is filterable by name. Each grade entry includes the name, date, and time of the quiz, relevant settings (such as clef and number of questions), and the score represented as a percentage and letter grade.
