MyMusicTheory offers interactive exercises for learning music theory and improving sight reading. Practice topics include notes, scales, intervals, chords, rhythm, and key signatures. Users can create custom exercises by choosing chords, scales, and intervals to work on, then review progress by day, week, or month with reports highlighting weaker areas. More advanced material includes seventh and extended chords, scale modes, compound intervals, and multiple clefs. The free plan includes more than 100 exercises, and the service is available on Android, iOS, and macOS. The iOS app is a free download with in-app purchases, including a Premium Upgrade for $8.99; the Android listing says it contains ads and in-app purchases. The app may help with preparation for ABRSM Levels 1–5, but does not cover every syllabus topic. Apple lists location, identifiers, and usage data as potentially used for tracking across other companies’ apps and websites.
