Violin Fingerings: Identify the notes on the staff by clicking the proper fingering on a violin fingerboard pictured on the screen. You can also play the on-screen violin before running the tutorial.
Note Names: Click on-screen buttons with your mouse or use the computer keyboard to identify notes that appear on the grand staff.
Paced Note Names: Identify the notes sliding across the staff before they disappear into oblivion! This is a very effective way to quickly learn the grand staff once you have gained a general familiarity with it.
C-Clef Note Names: Similar to the Note Names drill, but on your choice of 4 possible C-claves: soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto (the viola clef), or tenor.
Piano Keys: Identify the notes on the staff by clicking the proper key on a piano keyboard pictured on the screen. You can also play the keyboard before running the tutorial.
Guitar Frets: Identify the notes on the staff by clicking the proper fret on a guitar fretboard pictured on the screen. You can also play the on-screen guitar before running the tutorial.
Rhythm Performance: Tap out the rhythm displayed on the staff.
Rhythm Dictation: Notate rhythmic patterns based on what you hear, using whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, and eighth notes (depending on difficulty level).
Key Signatures: Identify the key signature that appears on the grand staff by clicking on-screen buttons with the mouse. You can determine whether the key is major or minor by listening to a chord, listening to a scale, or simply being told.  Also tests if you know the relative major/minor.
Intervals:
choose clef:
  treble clef
  bass clef
  alto (viola) clef
There are two different modes to help you learn your intervals: in "interval building" mode, place the note with the right accidental in the right place to make the interval. In "identifying intervals" mode, identify the interval shown on the staff.
Scales:
choose clef:
  treble clef
  bass clef
  alto (viola) clef
Strengthen your knowledge and understanding of scales by building them one note at a time on the staff.
Chords:
choose clef:
  treble clef
  bass clef
  alto (viola) clef
Build and identify triads or 7th chords on the staff, with options similar to those in Intervals drill.
Chord Functions: This drill gives you a key and a chord function -- you have to figure out the triad or 7th chord needed, and build it on the staff.  Use the advanced options to try more difficult functions: secondary dominants, borrowed chords, augmented 6th chords, neopolitans, and more.


Under
development:
First Species Counterpoint: Build the counterpoint to the melody given according to the rules of first species counterpoint.
Listening drills: Sharpen your musical ear: practice identifying intervals, scales, and chords by the sound alone.
More instrument drills: We're also continuing to develop drills for common musical instruments, finishing up the strings, then moving on through the rest of the orchestra!
