What it is

Study Music Theory is a service for learning music theory and ear training, with the aim of helping learners play by ear. Its course spans 12 levels and 1,496 interactive lessons, from notes and scales through jazz and orchestration. Ear-training drills cover intervals, chords, and melodies, with difficulty increasing gradually. A microphone trainer listens to what a learner plays and identifies it. Lessons include playable examples on an on-screen keyboard and fretboard, including guitar open-chord shapes. Additional practice tools include transcription, a play-by-ear coach, transposition, a drone, and a practice planner. The service is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its mobile apps work offline and do not require an account. Progress stays stored locally unless the learner signs in; an optional account can back it up and enable leaderboard participation. The free plan includes the full course and all eight trainers, with no ads or paywalls. The service says it does not use analytics or advertising trackers and does not sell or share data with advertisers or data brokers.
