About Learn music theory with Sonid
Sonid is a music education app that allows you to learn music theory in a fun and orderly manner.
It is different compared to other applications because it focuses on a single subject at a time. This approach will make your understanding of music expand more naturally and gives you the time to adapt to the new material. Complete Sonid and become a more refined musician.
Sonid is made for beginners and more advanced musicians that would like to broaden their musical horizon.
Features:
- Learn about a musical subject: a natural note, the perfect prime interval, the ionian major scale, a major seventh chord and many more.
- Answer questions about the subject you just learned about.
- Exercise a variety of topics. About notes, intervals, chords, scales and progressions. Change the difficulty of the questions you get: easy, intermediate, hard, expert or customized questions about topics you’ve learned.
- Unlock new modules to continue and expand your musical knowledge.
- Complete classes and lessons and earn experience points to buy badges and compete with your friends.
- Lookup detailed information about a musical term from anywhere inside the app.
- Display the notes from any scale/chord or interval in the playground.
- Get help at the in-app forum.
What can you learn?
For now Sonid focuses on harmony within music theory and ear-training. This means that when you complete all classes you will know how to:
- Build and play any existing scale, from major to minor and from lydian to mixolydian.
- Recognize keys and progressions within a key.
- You can read any chord symbol and understand which notes and intervals are in it and which scale it uses, like: Dmaj7#11 or G13.
- Recognize intervals, chords, scales and progressions by ear. (only if selected ear-training)
Why would you learn music theory?
- Help your ears to play the right note or chord by understanding which progressions are in a certain key. Or which scale is to be played at a given moment in your song.
- Make your playing sound unique by using different versions of chords, or replace them altogether to give a change of colour in your voicings.
- Composing new melodies and chord progressions will never feel the same after completing the music theory lessons. Explore new realms of music harmonies and take your listeners on a fantastical journey.
- Let your fellow musicians know what you expect from them using the correct terminology creating an open and creative environment to let your songs grow more naturally.
- Find the right notes at the right time. Play your solo with passion and rejoice.
Subscribe to Sonid Plus for even more content.
- Unlock exercises about various topics combined into tests. Like practicing a selection of easy intervals, or hard chords. Practice topics you've learned and continue on single topics you've completed.
- See statitics with the errors you've made giving you more insight in what you need to practice.
- Learn music theory without distractions from advertisements.

You can't play the harpsichord without a strong understanding of music theory. Sonid is a good way to master notes, scales, chords, intervals - lesson by lesson. Test your knowledge, lookup terms and their definitions, and exchange ideas with well over 10,000 users of the in-app forum. more6 months ago

Sound not working
Dec 5, 2020 By qwertyasdfuippjjllgbxCould you please help me? Sound isn’t working and I want to give 5 stars but I need the sound. I am on iphone8 -
Jul 30, 2021 By bob smackingtonI just started using it so I can't give it a full rundown, but my immediate impression is that the sound really needs to be adjusted. The actual lessons are so quiet and the ads are THE LOUDEST THING IN THE WORLD! -
Needs improvement
Feb 1, 2021 By SuperShoeDivaThe lessons are keyboard based, but the keyboard is tiny and the app cannot be viewed horizontally. I am on the major second section, and am asked to play two notes, but there is no sound when I play them. The explanation of major second is confusing. Why is it a major second between C and D, two semi-tones between, and also E and F, one semi-tone between? You cannot advance to other levels without passing earlier levels. The pace of this app is excruciatingly slow. The C is always present on the keyboard, which is not real life and I would like the option to turn it off. more -
Jul 21, 2021 By michael phillipsI would like the ability to replay a completed section. Even if it's timed like I get 3replay coins and it takes 24hours to refresh 1coin. -
This needs a lot of work, both on the technical and educational quality.
Feb 8, 2021 By pink dingusI am 47 years old. I believe my self to be of at least average intelligence. I have been playing drums in all kinds of rock bands for the last 30 years of my life. I know how to read a drum chart. I’ve put “musician” as my occupation on my tax return. This app, at least in the three beginner modules I’ve sampled (naturals, prime 1, second 1), is confusing and has weird technical issues. I paid for 3 months of subscription before really giving it a try. I hope it gets better. more -

May 13, 2021 By Simon GilbertVery interesting app that I intend to share with my students for them to brush up on their music theory. However, when the app talks about music theory I was expecting a bit more than just intervals, scales and chords. For instance there is no mention of rhythms or beats. It's all about the notes only... Also, no mention of reading/writing the music. All piano based, no notation big lack on that end as well since music theory is mostly used with music sheets... more

May 4, 2020 By Sonya GriffithsThis is one of the best apps I've tried to learn music theory. It assumes you have no knowledge, it's simple easy and fun. I actually find I'm playing it for a long time rather than a few minutes so I'm actually learning quite a lot. I tried many different ways to learn music theory and this is by far my favourite. I would also like the ads removed or a way to pay for them to be removed because they are slightly annoying. more

Apr 24, 2021 By Alexandra TonkinLoving the app so far. But I can't hear the notes I play when asked to play an interval from an audio file. I'm wondering if there's a bug or if it's meant to be like this? I'd prefer to be able to hear the interval I play. -

Aug 26, 2021 By Rare Prymateslow hard giving me a headache
What’s Groovy
The reply to my review totally missed the point. The teaching module is on the "prime" interval. "Prime" definition makes no sense when only referring to the keyboard because it can be a half step or same note. Or the same note can NOT be a prime. The concept refers to the staff depiction. If you don't want to teach the staff then don't teach "prime" interval.

What’s Subpar
Enjoyed the free version so I purchased the 3 month option. After the purchase the sound stopped working. So I tried everything I could think of to fix the sound. So my last resort was to delete and reload the app. And then when I logged in. And tried to use the version I paid for it’s telling me that I need to purchase the app again ,,,,
