Music Theory, Ear Training & Composition Practice — Version 2.6

Harmony & Counterpoint is a comprehensive music theory learning app designed to connect theoretical knowledge with practical musical writing. Study harmony, counterpoint, voice leading, solfège, ear training, instrumentation, orchestration, and jazz arranging through structured lessons and notation-based exercises.

Rather than simply reading explanations, you can enter notes, solve musical problems, and receive immediate feedback. The Learning Guide and Note Input Guide help you understand how to progress through each subject and use the notation tools effectively.

Whether you are studying composition, arranging, music theory, or preparing for formal music education, Harmony & Counterpoint provides a structured path from fundamental concepts to more advanced writing techniques.

One practice path for the language of music

Go from hearing and understanding music to writing, arranging, and checking your own work — with a clear next step every time you practice.

Harmony

Build four-part harmony with chord function, inversions, figured bass, and practical voice-leading feedback.

Counterpoint

Write independent melodic lines through species-based exercises inspired by the Fux tradition.

Solfège & Ear Training

Connect hearing, singing, and notation through a progressive path from four-note foundations to larger intervals.

Instrumentation & Orchestration

Learn register, playable range, instrumental roles, and orchestral color through real score excerpts.

Jazz Study

Explore chord symbols, extensions, tensions, functional harmony, and the foundations of improvisation.

Guided Daily Practice

Use level assessment, goals, study planning, daily questions, and reminders to keep building a musical habit.
