I have developed a number of apps to help my violin and music theory pupils with various tasks.
You can find them at the links below:


everyscale.info

An algorithmic scale generator which you can use to explore scales and arpeggios of all sorts, from the more standard ones required for grade exams, to a wide variety of more exotic options such as modes, pentatonics, and much more.


satb.app

Platform for algorithmically assessing and providing feedback on harmony for 1 or 2 parts with figured bass or extended roman chord symbols, or 4 part SATB writing. Currently designed to work with Grade 6 ABRSM questions 1-3, with further expansion planned.


Musical Terms Tester

Generates infinite random multiple choice questions to test your knowledge on musical terms and signs in the format of ABRSM Theory Exams.


Virtual Scale Examiner

Randomly generates a sequence of scales and arpeggios to simulate the experience of taking the scales and arpeggios section of the ABRSM violin grade exams. Grades 1-8 are supported, as well as an easy mode and hard mode.


Note Tester

Generates random notes on the stave to test note identification, and gives feedback on accuracy of answer. All four major clefs can be selected, as well as added key signatures.


Key Signature Tester

Generates random key signatures to test your knowledge, and gives feedback on accuracy of answer. All four major clefs are supported.


Time Signature Tester

Generates random time signatures to test your knowledge in describing them as either simple/compound/irregular and duple/triple/quadruple etc. Feedback is given on accuracy of answer.


Scale Explorer

Provides an interactive sandbox for exploring the scales and keys you need to know about for ABRSM music theory exams. Select the grade, and see the scales with and without their key signatures, ascending and descending, with semitones marked, and much more.


Interval Tester

Generates random intervals with key signatures on the stave to test identification knowledge. All four major clefs are selectable, and an advanced mode unlocks more complex intervals not appearing in the grade 5 ABRSM theory exam.


Interval Explorer

An interval calculator which can describe the distance between any pair of notes, with support for double flats and sharps. An advanced mode unlocks description of intervals beyond merely augmented and diminished.


Polyrhythm Visualiser

A visualiser and metronome for polyrhythms. Any ratio of 2 numbers can be selected, and viewed graphically with different display options and played out loud. Notation is also shown for many more common ratios giving ideas for how to learn and internalise the rhythm using existing notation reading skills.
