Flashcards for every clef! Use these "music note flashcards" to brush up on clefs you rarely read, to help learn a new clef, or as a fun and family-friendly game for your students. The notes are randomly generated, and there's an option to include or exclude double sharps or flats. The bottom of each page lists the notes you got wrong, and what notes you mistook them for. Watch a video tutorial of the flashcards on YouTube.
Learn key signatures like the back of your hand!
If you've ever needed to practice learning how to transpose then these are the flashcards for you. Choose from two options: 1) transposing from other keys to concert-pitch or 2) from concert pitch to other keys.
The best way to get fast at recalling secondary dominants! Also helpful for jazz improvisors that are learning to memorize tunes in multiple keys (i.e. "... and then bars four - eight are a ii-V7-I to the IV."). Try them out!
Post-Tonal Theory! If you know, you know! These are just introductory bits and pieces of post-tonal theory. If you'd like to dig into it more, check out this book: Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory .
Movable-do solfege can be hard to master, but I've found it to be the best way to quickly and clearly communicate melodic and harmonic concepts.
The best free jazz theory (that's free jazz-theory, not free-jazz theory) games/apps/flahcards on the net. Each flashcard game keeps track of your score and details which ones you got wrong (and the incorrect answers that you chose).
These are harder than you might think! The questions are posed as "word-problems" (i.e., no staff or sound). Enharmonics count here, so don't press "C" when it's actually "B#!" Doubly diminished and doubly augmented intervals are included!
Modes seem to come up a lot in music-theory facebook groups, and I'm not too sure why. But, I created mode flashcards, mode calculator, and a tutorial on understanding the modes because of it. Enjoy!
