Two small games, tutorials, links to other sites and apps, and a guide to everything the app can do.

Scale roulette
Spin the wheel, get a key, play the scale.
- Picks one of the 12 keys for you, so you stop practicing only the ones you like.
- Hold Start longer and the wheel spins faster.
- One click opens the scale in Practice, ready to play.
Spin the wheel -
Listen and repeat
The app plays a melody. You play it back.
- It starts with one note and adds another after every round you get right.
- 15 levels, from five notes in C major to two octaves in any key.
- The melody comes back at the tempo you played it.
- Ear mode hides the keys and doubles the points.
- Works with a MIDI keyboard or the keys on screen.
