Unlock the musician in you with Harmony. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, Harmony trains you to recognize, read, and play music. Four domains, one method: theory becomes a game of focused exercises you tune to your level. The 4 domains β€’ Notes β€” spot and place every note. β€’ Intervals β€” measure the distance between two pitches. β€’ Scales β€” major, minor, modes, and more. β€’ Chords β€” from triads to extended chords, inversions included. Three ways to train β€’ By sight β€” read the note straight off the staff (treble or bass clef, key signatures, ledger lines). β€’ By ear β€” hear a note, interval, or chord, then identify it. β€’ By playing β€” play the target back on an interactive piano. Play your way β€’ By touch, on the virtual keyboard. β€’ By microphone, singing or with your instrument. β€’ By MIDI, plugging in your keyboard (USB or Bluetooth). Track your progress β€’ Short sessions β€” choose how many questions, and get your precision at the end. β€’ Clear statistics β€” your mastery domain by domain, by question type, and by concept. β€’ Your practice day streak, to keep the rhythm going. Why Harmony? β€’ Tailored β€” pick the concepts, question formats, and difficulty. β€’ Easy to get into β€” a guided tour shows you the essentials on first launch. β€’ Distraction-free β€” a clean interface built for focus. β€’ On every screen β€” phone and tablet alike. β€’ Offline β€” everything works without a connection. β€’ Multilingual β€” English, French, Spanish, and three note notations (Do-Re-Mi, C-D-E, German notation). Harmony is just getting started. We improve it every day to build the most complete training companion, from theory basics to a trained ear. Happy practicing!

Write down what you hear. Qwidict plays you a measure. You write it down. Then you see straight away what was right and what was not β€” not just a score, but your own staff in colour, with the solution underneath. NEVER THE SAME ONE TWICE Qwidict holds no list of ready-made exercises. The app composes each dictation the moment you press start: the rhythm as well as the melody. You set the boundaries β€” level, clef, key, time signature, and how often a measure may be replayed. Within them the supply never runs out. Don’t feel like choosing? Tap the dice and let the app decide. THREE KINDS OF DICTATION β€’ Rhythmic and melodic: pitch and note value, the full exercise β€’ Rhythmic: rhythm only, everything on one line β€’ Melodic: pitches only, in even notes ONE MEASURE AT A TIME You hear a single measure and write it down with the do-re-mi buttons. Missed it? Play it again β€” you decide how often. A moving line shows where you are in the measure, so you both hear and see where every note falls. SEE EXACTLY WHAT WENT WRONG Green is right, red is wrong, and the solution appears underneath. One look tells you whether the pitch or the rhythm was off β€” which a score on its own never does. FOUR LEVELS 1. 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. Whole, half, quarter and eighth notes. C major. 2. Sixteenths, dotted quarter, eighth rest. The keys of G and F. 3. 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8. Triplets. The keys of D, A, B flat and E flat. 4. 5/8 and 7/8, irregular meters and harder sixteenth-note groupings. START FOR FREE Levels 1 and 2 are completely free: all three dictation types, unlimited practice, no ads. The full version unlocks levels 3 and 4, the bass clef, all keys, compound and irregular meters and triplets. One purchase, no subscription. NO FUSS No account, no sign-up, no internet connection needed. No advertising and no tracking. Everything stays on your own device. Qwidict runs on iPhone and iPad, in English, Dutch, French, Spanish and German.
