Do I need to sign in to use Learn Music Theory?
No. Learn Scale, Learn Chord, and Practice mode all work immediately in the browser — no account required.
What's the difference between Learn Scale and Learn Chord?
Learn Scale plays back a full scale from a chosen root note; Learn Chord plays back a chord built on that root note — both with falling notes on the keyboard.
How does Practice mode work?
Practice mode has you play the scale or chord back yourself on phone touch, QWERTY, or a MIDI controller, tracking a streak and accuracy score as you go.
Can I use a MIDI keyboard?
Yes. Connect any MIDI controller and Papiano picks it up automatically through your browser's Web MIDI support.
