Our music theory tools are designed to help musicians at all levels understand and apply music theory concepts. Whether you're a beginner learning scales or an advanced musician analyzing complex chord progressions, these free tools provide interactive ways to learn.
Music theory tools are interactive tools that help explain and apply core music theory concepts such as scales, rhythm, melody, and harmony. They allow musicians and learners to explore these concepts through visual patterns, generated examples, and structured practice.
Scales are the foundation of melody and harmony. Understanding scales helps with improvisation, composition, and ear training.
Scales are ordered sequences of pitches used to build melodies and chords. Using a scale tool can help you visualize and practice major, minor, modal, and other scale types in any key.
Rhythm is the organization of sound in time. Pattern makers and beat tools help musicians internalize time signatures, subdivisions, and syncopation.
Rhythm tools break down common patterns and time signatures, allowing you to create custom rhythm sequences and explore how beats fit into measures.
Melody is the linear succession of musical tones; harmony is how those tones combine vertically to form chords. Tools related to melody generation or chord identification help bridge theory to creative practice.
Melody and harmony tools guide you through visualizing combinations of notes and chord progressions, offering insights into how pieces are structured and how different tones interact.
Ear training tools help you recognize intervals, chord types, and rhythm by sound, not just notation. These are key to translating theory into performance skills.
Training your ear with interactive tools improves musical intuition and helps you identify intervals, chords, and rhythmic patterns by listening, not just reading.
Learning basic scales, rhythm, and note relationships is often considered a practical starting point for understanding music theory fundamentals.
Chords are built using notes from scales. Understanding scales helps explain why certain chords work together in harmony.
Practicing rhythm independently helps improve timing and groove, which supports clearer melodic and harmonic expression.
