ToneSavvy provides online music theory and ear training exercises for learners, along with tools for teachers to assign practice and review student scores. Topics include sight reading, intervals, chords, scales, rhythm, key signatures, piano keys, guitar frets, string instrument fingerboards, and counterpoint. Ear training activities cover areas such as chord progressions, perfect pitch, functional scale degrees, intervals in context, and melodic dictation. Teachers with a subscription can manage student lists, create tailored assignments, and check scores online; students complete assignments on a computer or mobile device through the web. Anyone can practice exercises without an account, but those scores are not visible to teachers and do not receive credit. Some exercises accept MIDI input in compatible browsers, and the site recommends Google Chrome for MIDI use. Only teachers or schools pay, while students do not. A 30-day trial is available, and plans start at 19.00 USD per month for up to 25 students, with higher listed tiers for larger groups.
Who it is for
It suits music teachers and schools assigning online practice and tracking student scores, as well as learners practicing theory and ear training. Students can use free exercises without an account, though teachers cannot see those scores or award credit for them.
