Study Music Theory

What Study Music Theory is

Study Music Theory is a music-learning service for theory and ear training, with the goal 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 exercises cover intervals, chords, and melodies, with difficulty rising over time. A microphone trainer listens to a learner play and identifies what was played. Lessons include playable keyboard and fretboard examples, including guitar open-chord shapes. Other tools include transcription, a play-by-ear coach, transposition, a drone, and a practice planner. Study Music Theory is available on the web, Android, and iOS; its mobile apps work offline and do not require an account. Progress stays on the device unless a learner signs in, and an optional account can back it up and enable leaderboard participation. The free plan includes the full course and all eight trainers, without ads or paywalls. The service says it does not use analytics or advertising trackers, or sell or share data with advertisers or data brokers.
