Description

Tenuto is a collection of 24 highly-customizable exercises designed to enhance your musicality. From recognizing chords on a keyboard to identifying intervals by ear, it has an exercise for you. Tenuto also includes six musical calculators for accidentals, intervals, scales, chords, analysis symbols, and twelve-tone matrices. A short description of the exercises and calculators follows. –––––– • Note Identification • Key Signature Identification • Interval Identification • Scale Identification • Chord Identification Tap the button corresponding to the written staff line. For example: if shown a C, E, and G with a sharp; tap the "Augmented Triad" button. –––––– • Note Construction • Key Signature Construction • Interval Construction • Scale Construction • Chord Construction Construct the specified label by moving notes and/or adding accidentals. For example: if shown a C and an "Augmented 4th" label, move the second note to F and add a sharp. –––––– • Keyboard Reverse Identification Tap the piano key corresponding to the written note on the staff. While similar to Note Identification, this exercise uses a piano keyboard rather than note name buttons. • Keyboard Note Identification • Keyboard Interval Identification • Keyboard Scale Identification • Keyboard Chord Identification Tap the button corresponding to the highlighted piano key(s). If the C and G keys are highlighted, tap the "P5" (Perfect 5th) button. –––––– • Fretboard Note Identification • Fretboard Interval Identification • Fretboard Scale Identification • Fretboard Chord Identification Tap the button corresponding to the marked fretboard position(s). If the 2nd fret of the D string is marked, tap the "E" button. –––––– • Keyboard Ear Training • Note Ear Training Listen to the played reference and question notes. Select the piano key or note button corresponding to the question note. • Interval Ear Training • Scale Ear Training • Chord Ear Training Tap the button corresponding to the played notes. If E and F are played, tap the "Minor 2nd" button. –––––– • Accidental Calculator Display the accidental for a note and key. • Interval Calculator Display the interval for a note, type, and key. • Chord Calculator Display the scale for a tonic and scale type. • Chord Calculator Display the chord for a note, type, and key. • Analysis Calculator Display the chord for a symbol and key. • Matrix Calculator Display the twelve-tone matrix for a specified tone row.

  • Very useful learning tool

    I use this program every day to work on note and chord reading, and ear training for notes, intervals, and chords. It is very flexible. Sometimes the user has to think through the setup of an exercise to match the goal of the user, but this is what you would expect for an app this flexible. I recommend this app to all my friends. Thanks Tenuto!
  • Great but buggy

    In terms of well designed exercises that help you master music theory quickly, this app cannot be beat. It is pretty bare bones - there is no cutesy owl offering encouragement, and there is no internal algorithm that tries to gauge your current ability - so you do need to be self-motivated and know your own strengths and weaknesses to get the most out of it. But it offers so much control over what you are (or are not) learning, you never waste your time on concepts that you have already mastered. It is, unfortunately, quite buggy and often becomes unresponsive in various ways. The sound cuts out, or it sometimes requires two or more taps to register an answer, or it freezes up entirely. More annoyingly, quitting the application doesn’t usually solve the problem. I often have to completely reboot my iPad. If the bugs get squashed, this will be a perfect, 5 star app for me.
  • I use it all the time

    I’m a piano teacher and I use it all the time with my students. I don’t understand some of the negative comments. For the price, I find it a very dynamic and thorough tool for testing yourself and others. It Does have timers. I don’t understand when some say it doesn’t. It has a challenge mode. For beginners, you can set parameters on how difficult you make each challenge. I highly recommend it as a tool for learning music and testing your knowledge.
  • Great for sight reading

    I have been learning piano but am still struggling to read music efficiently. This app has been perfect for testing myself because it provides instant and accurate feedback. My only wish is that there was an option to recognize chords by their names (Ex: A7 or G minor).
  • The best

    One time I was driving back from Florida with my girlfriend who knows nothing about music theory and in the 18 hour car ride, I taught her everything she needs to know through this app

    I am learning guitar. Been at it for a little over a year. This app was instrumental in helping me internalize the fretboard. I finally started the ear training sections, and it is super useful. Just showed it to my guitar teacher, and he was surprised such a professional tool existed for beginners. So many options for customizing your lessons too.
  • Great App!

    Are there any chances of adding more scales for scale identification?
  • Bass position symbols training

    I love this app! It has definitely contributed to me having A’s in music theory and my ear training class. The only thing i think it needs is bass position symbol training. Thank you!
  • Wonderful app

    Hi, Love the app so much, it’s taught me a bunch. I like how for example in sheet music interval identification the treble and bass are lined up by middle C so it gives you a sense of that link between them, but it would also be wonderful to have a setting making them farther apart, as they usually are in sheet music, and practice naming those intervals between clefs even with that extra distance. Also, more specific chord ear training would be nice - with a reference note, play the exact chord on the little keyboard. As of now you can only practice naming the quality of the chord, which is useful too but not in the same way.
