MyMusicTheory vs note-noodle

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.

note-noodle provides interactive music theory practice for fretboard work, staff notation, ear training, rhythm, and play-along, alongside a guided curriculum. Play Along grades pitch and timing while a user plays through a microphone, MIDI keyboard, or screen. It accepts MIDI and Guitar Pro files up to 5 MB; free accounts can upload three per month. The curriculum has 35 lessons, quizzes, unit exams, spaced repetition, and seven learning paths. Ear training spans eight categories and four difficulty tiers, with answers by ear, MIDI, or microphone. Four digital instruments send per-note bend, slide, and pressure across up to 15 member channels; hearing per-note bend requires an MPE host such as Live 11. A MIDI Bridge connects those instruments to a desktop DAW over the local network. Free access includes 10 ear-training sessions per day and the first four lessons without an account. Premium costs €7 a month. The service runs on Android, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
