Music Theory: ScaleNet

ScaleNet is a "mobile Music Theory learning environment" for the young--or beginner musician.

It was developed by two college professors who employed network modeling to help clarify how many of the basic concepts in music are connected by simple, interrelated patterns.

ScaleNet's melody-game incorporates a large library of diverse melodic phrases which provide a constantly changing "real world" note-ID environment. The skill sets developed through the use of ScaleNet are applicable to Traditional, Popular, EDM, Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Classical music.


ScaleNet provides interactive learning spaces associated with:


--Keys and their graphic layout on the staff (mirrored in touch-pads).

--Simple key relationships: Major, relative minor and parallel minor.

--Complex key relationships--and how harmonic progressions are nested within their natural order.

--Note identification employing treble, alto, and bass clefs within all keys in a timed play-environment.

--Ear-training through simple additive melodic phrases which are spontaneously sequenced
and which can be used for interval identification.

--Post-game statistics which allow the user to track ongoing progress.


ScaleNet's simple, intuitive, interface allows the user to focus on musical processes and ideas.

ScaleNet's "key-sphere" technology redefines the traditional circle of 5ths revealing new harmonic relationships.

ScaleNet's ear-training and sight-reading game integrates key information through touch-pad mirroring.
