There are a number of music theory apps available for download. Some focus on the fundamentals of music theory, such as notation and meter. Others offer ear training to help you distinguish between notes and develop your listening skills. Another important topic is understanding rhythmic patterns and how to read charts for drums. Compiled below are a number of apps to help get you started.
Ear and rhythm training, note recognition, notation lessons and more are available for your phone. Practice on-the-go, on your lunch break, wherever or whenever. Routine is the key to retaining this information.
The cool thing about working with these apps is that even without music theory experience you can create simple chord progressions and melodies. Create sweeping lead and bass lines. Add some percussion even a drum beat. Then shift the sounds with various knobs labeled "filter" or "distortion." Allow your imagination to run free!
The next step after creating your music is to edit the tracks in an audio production software. Many of times, you can export your music files directly to the software of your choosing. The following options have either free "lite" versions or require purchasing. Check for educational versions or other discount options. You can also use the Bandlab app which allows you to collaborate with musicians remotely.
