Practice aids, not lessons

Fretwell Music Lab tools are practice aids for music theory and ear training. They are not lessons, and they don’t replace a teacher.

No promised results

Progress depends on how often you practise, where you start, and other individual factors. We describe what each tool trains, but we don’t promise any specific result.

Theory conventions

Music theory terms and conventions vary between teaching traditions — for example in Roman numeral symbols, voice-leading rules and solfège. The tools follow widely used conventions, which may differ from those you have been taught.

Volume

Keep the volume at a comfortable level, especially when using headphones. Start low and turn it up gradually.

Synthesized sounds

All instrument sounds are synthesized in your browser. They are not recordings of real instruments, and they will not sound exactly like any particular instrument.

Independence

Fretwell Music Lab is independent. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any music school, exam board, instrument maker or software company.
