Apps and Tools


Random Note Picker

This website is a great tool for when you may want to test your students knowledge when playing scales, arpeggios, or anything that may require you to choose a note randomly. You or the student may choose whether they would like to read the notes in sharp or flat and from there you can choose to do whatever you wish with this great tool.


SmartMusic

SmartMusic is an online software that can be downloaded and used to practice music with tracks, a tuner, metronome, and recorder. This can be beneficial for teachers who are looking to have there students practice and submit recordings of their assignments. The teacher can examine how well the student is doing by having the pitch detection turned on and see what the student is struggling with. This software does require a subscription but it is very beneficial for those who are interested in the students status.


Musictheory.net

Musictheory.net is an online website and mobile app that provides lessons, exercises, and tools that can aid a student in music theory. Everything from basics, rhythm and meter, scales and key signatures can be found on this website.

Online Storybook

The link provided will take you to an Online Storybook I created to help teach the different forms found in music. I created this to help students visualize what musical forms look like, but instead of using traditional methods, I compared it to how people like to make their sandwiches.
