Solfe
Read full descriptionHide full description
Solfe brings the study and the practice of music together: theory, plus the solfΓ¨ge side β ear training, sight-singing and rhythm β all in one place, at your own pace. - Music theory: 14,000+ questions across 8 categories (intervals, key signatures, scales, rhythm, terms, chords, transposition, score analysis), every one with a careful explanation. Notation questions are rendered on a real staff, with a keyboard diagram in the explanation. - SolfΓ¨ge: ear training, sight-singing, and rhythm. Exercises are generated on the fly, so the training never runs out. Sight-singing grades your pitch and timing on the device β your voice never leaves your phone. - Ask about a question: when an explanation doesn't land, ask about that question directly. Answers are grounded in the question, its answer, and the notation. - Today: the home screen picks what to do next - review that is due, or the level you are working through - plus one solfΓ¨ge exercise for when you can use your voice. - Review: spaced repetition (SRS) remembers what you solved and brings it back right before you forget. - Practice exam: 20 questions in 20 minutes, modelled on the structure of Japanese music high school and conservatory entrance exams. Free plan: every question is open - all categories and all levels, up to conservatory entrance level - with 5 sessions a day (a session is 10 questions in theory or ear training; one exercise in sight-singing). Every explanation, score, and keyboard stays visible, and spaced repetition works with a 30-question queue. Solfe Pro (subscription, 7-day free trial): no daily limit, unlimited review, a mastery map broken down by category and by material, the practice exam, and weak-spot drills.
