Interactive learning tools

Music theory you can change, hear and touch.

An explanation answers “what?”. An explorer answers “what happens if?”. Fretuno places specialised interactive tools inside the lesson so you can test a relationship before trying to recall it.

Eight tool types

A different concept deserves a different way to explore.

Note map explorer

Choose any pitch class, reveal every occurrence across twelve frets and tap positions to hear them.
