MyMusicTheory offers exercises for learning music theory and improving sight reading. Practice topics include notes, scales, intervals, chords, rhythm, and key signatures, while custom exercises let users choose the chords, scales, and intervals they want to work on. Progress can be viewed by day, week, or month, with reports identifying areas of weakness. Advanced exercises cover seventh and extended chords, scale modes, compound intervals, and multiple clefs. The free plan includes more than 100 exercises. MyMusicTheory is available on Android, iOS, and macOS.
