Description
An indispensable resource for any musician or music teacher.
Over 100 scales notated and played for you, including note names and melodic intervals. Transposition for instruments in Ab, Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, and E. Play along! Create a pdf of the notation and piano key markings for sharing or printing. Listen and watch the notes or piano keys highlight as it plays.
Transpose with a touch, to any root, in treble, alto, tenor or bass clef. See the scale notated correctly, with double sharps and flats as needed. For example, Gb minor has a B double flat, not an A.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app!
Really helpful for learning scales. It would be great if arpeggios could be included in the next update.
Only shows one octave,Author can’t be contacted
The description is misleading. It says you can choose a range, but the app only ever displays one octave. This would be fine for piano, but for brass instruments the fingering is different up the octave so it’s next to useless unless you stop playing halfway through and select the next octave, which is fiddly, then you have to do the same coming down. I didn’t want to write a negative review, but the authors contact section on his website is faulty - it won’t let you send a message without completing a captcha, which isn’t displayed. I tried on two different platforms. So for me, a waste of money and no support.
Developer Response ,
Apologies for the faulty support form on my website. It has been fixed. About the octaves issue, I opted for familiarity with 8va 8vb signs over a very cluttered or tiny notation. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about what you expected to see when a 5 octave range is selected.
Wow!
Really cool app - really good to explore with.
One small request: the slide down tool has all scales; could you only have say just the jazz scales at your finger tips rather than having to trawl through everything to find what you want?
I.e, could you be given the choice of which group of scales you want to explore via a simple set-up ?
Thanks again for the great work.
