Features
Lessons that teach it, practice that drills it, an arena that makes it automatic, and the classroom tools to run it for a whole school. Don’t take our word for it: try it right here.
Learn
Twenty-seven lessons in textbook order, from reading the staff to analysing real progressions. Each idea is taught, then explored, before you drill it.
Short HD lessons on the staff and at the keyboard, taught by a working music educator.
Each lesson’s idea unfolds step by step on a real engraved staff you can play and hear, so it makes sense before you practise it.
A clear written summary of every lesson, with notation, worked examples and the rules worth remembering.
On any page, members can ask Melo a question, have it quiz them, or work through a problem with it step by step.
Practise and check
Questions are generated fresh every time, so there is always another one, and every answer is checked the moment you give it.
Name notes and chords, write them on the staff, pick them out on the keyboard, identify what you hear and tap rhythms in time.
Each lesson ends with a quiz checked on the server, with an explanation for every question you miss.
What you missed comes back until it sticks, and a mastery map shows every note, key and chord as mastered, learning or shaky.
Already know a unit? Pass its test-out and skip ahead, with nothing to unlock by hand.
Practice arena
Sixty-second sprints across 12 arenas, rated as a Theory Tempo that rises only when you get faster and stay accurate.
Race Melo to the most points, or try to keep pace with it all the way. Pick its level from Andante to Prestissimo: it answers like a real player, at that tempo, and levels up and down by the same rules you do.
Three ways to play
Battle the whole class, climb the ranks on your own, or race Melo. Points, combos and levels in every round, and every one of them is real theory.

Take on Melo
A rival that plays like a real person at the tempo you choose, and levels up and down by the same rules you do.
After every counted sprint, see how it compares with everyone’s sprints in that arena. Finish in the top 30% and it names your exact percentage; below that, it simply cheers you on.
