    Great learning tool
    I studied music theory in college and I’ve gained more from this app in a few days than a few semesters in class. There are just a few updates I would love to see to make the app more enjoyable to use. Examples are a erase button for the quizzes. It’s very frustrating attempting to correct mistakes. It would also be nice to have access to the segment rules once the timer runs out. When you need a refresher, you have to completely exit the quiz to review the short paragraph from the lesson. Other than that, I highly recommend this app to anyone wanting to learn music theory in an organized fashion. Show more

    Unbelievable
    I’ve learned more in 3 days than in the last 20 years, no joke, in regards to music theory. It’s always seemed confusing and mysterious. But put it in a game with some thoughtful dialogue and - what do you know? Suddenly it makes sense since you are actually applying it to something. Now, I’m not saying I memorized everything - but with the formulas provided in understanding the circle of 5th’s (finally!) and 4th’s and the magic chord formulas…honestly it’s like the light was turned on in my brain.

    I finally understand theory
    This App is an organized way to engage with theory instead of just trying to cram-style memorize things. The exercises helped me actually memorize instead of just staring at flash cards or trying to cram it all. Do yourself a favor and just try the month like me, at $7 it’s a steal to finally have the understanding I was always looking for. Show more

    Useful
    It’s a well made beginner app to learn how to quickly recognize chords and keys. I paid for one month to check it out and I learned some useful tips and tricks. However, it is not worth the price or the monthly fee. $10 purchase is sufficient for this game and tutorial. There is a wealth of free information online so the app is really not necessary. You’d get more bang for the buck taking a music theory class at a community college. Show more

    Amazing!
    Love it! Got it just the other day and I’m already seeing improvements in my grasp of theory.

    Experienced musician, beginner theorist
    I’ve been piano for years. Picking up a bit of theory here as there as it was necessary but never really diving in. I recently decided I wanted to elevate my playing, and was recommended to check out Waay as a fun, easy way to learn theory. So far I’ve loved it. Simple, bite sized lessons I can do in my phone in my free time. Great app!! Show more

    why it's so expensive now
    I can't afford that
  • Hhhhudhsheudhe, 01.07.2022
    Well made app. Way too pricey.
    One of the best made apps I've ever used. Price is way too high for the basic information that's given. But I enjoyed checking out the free lesson.
  • Scribben, 28.06.2022
    Why would this be a subscription?
    And seven bucks a month at that. The cost quickly outpaces even the priciest of music apps, and punishes you for wanting to keep practicing over time. For educational and skill building content, just no sense. Show more

    Kinesthetic Learners this is for you!
    This app is very good at explaining things out. I recommend taking notes of your own. This app has been exponentially helpful.

    Absolutely phenomenal
    This is better than any YouTube video, podcast, or music theory book I have read. This truly helps you find an actionable way to put music theory to practice. That was always my frustration over the years I’ve been trying to learn more theory, the application of what I read what hard to put into practice. Within 48 hours using this app I have actually comprehended what is being taught with this app far beyond any previous comprehension for past products. After using this app my other music theory books make more sense, and my favorite part is Waay provides tips and short cuts for figuring out scales within seconds. Honestly they could charge more than double the amount and it would be totally worth it. Thanks to the folks who made this. Show more

    Finally, it all makes sense
    I am a hobbyist musician (at best) who has been playing guitar for over 25 years. Despite all that time enjoying the sounds that came from the instrument, and even writing several of my own tunes, it was all done by trial and grueling error- “this and that sound kinda good together- yay”. Commonly enough I would get stuck in certain parts, or otherwise not understand how to achieve certain results or resolve the sequence in a way that felt satisfying. I had learned the basic major and minor scales, pentatonic and blues scales. I knew my basic chords and way around the fretboard. But what I had never managed to wrap my head around was this seemingly intimidating thing called the circle of fifths. I had watched several videos on YouTube over the years, and even had a cardboard slide in a drawer somewhere… but for whatever reason the concepts never managed to comprehensively sink in or feel tangible. But all of that has changed after progressing through Waay’s very synchronous and digestible courses. Waay’s approach to the material somehow managed to break down and communicate these concepts in a format I could actually comprehend and apply. I now find myself going back and seeing my favorite songs as if for the first time… now realizing why some chord progressions work so well to shape the feel of the song or support the melodies and harmonies. I am also going back and reworking some of my own tunes, and am increasingly feeling the benefits of these courses. I am immensely grateful to Ten Kettles for producing such a well designed, succinct, and affordable app for those out there who, like me, may have struggled to get off the ground with this material. I cannot recommend this app enough, and am already preparing to go ahead and work my way back through it a second time just for funzies. I am also hopeful that Ten Kettles may some day produce further courses which build on the material already presented; such as how to utilize modes, borrowed chords, and transition between keys.

    Efficient, answered my gaps in knowledge
    Very clear and engaging since it’s so efficient in teaching what matters. Really worth it.

    Amazing
    My first 30mins with Waay was great. Music theory explained in a simple, practical way. Video is on point and exercise very helpful. Worth it!
  • aetherealsea, 15.08.2021
    Really Useful and enjoyable
    I really like this app. The approach to learning is easy to understand and engaging. I wonder if you guys would make an ear training app that teaches melodic/harmonic minor and the like if you haven’t already. Show more
