### 5/5 — Fun and helpful

*2020-08-30, version 3.2*

This easy-to-use app is a fun way to test your knowledge of the RCM levels 9 and 10 history. What I found particularly useful was how the questions highlighted the areas of the curriculum I needed to study more. An excellent learning tool for anyone preparing for the exams. Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Helpful!

*2017-08-29*

I used this app to cram for my music history diagnostic exam. It was very helpful! Extremely useful for brushing up on Medieval through Classical. Not so great after that. Stops at Bernstein. Overall, very useful!

### 5/5 — Music history flash cards

*2015-11-04*

This is a beautifully done app, and a welcome study companion for the RCM/ music development program history exam.  It includes cards for levels 1 and 2.  Each card asks a multiple choice question.  The student will get a point for each correct answer, or 1/2 point for a correct answer on the second guess.  The answer provides great information needed for the exam.  A very fun way to study for the exam, or just learn music history!

### 4/5 — Thorough and very useful.

*2015-10-21*

These are excellent! Score examples, mini-quizzes (i.e. "Who wrote this work?")...  But, seriously, what's with the Alexina Louie obsession!?

**Developer response:** Hi - thanks for your review! To answer your question, Alexina Louie appears so prominently in the app because she's one of the required composers on the exam. Cheers!
