This key signature app for music theory uses areflective practice method of learning. This includes shortpractice tests, instead of reading and rereading which has beenshown to be an ineffective method of learning compared toreflective practice. App features and suggested memory trainingstrategies are listed below.1. All grades of music theory (7 sharps, 7 flats, major and minorkeys) are covered in short practice tests of 15 or more questionsfrom the following key signature categories:A. major sharps;B. minor sharps;C. major flats;D. minor flats;E. major sharps and flats;F. minor sharps and flats;G. major and minor sharps;H. major and minor flats;I. major and minor, sharps and flats - all key signatures (15, 30or 45 random questions).2. Use clues in a tutorial mode, for beginners or to refresh yourmemory, this is optional on all quizzes and if used is marked inthe results graph for your information.3. Each key signature quiz you do is saved and plotted on a linegraph. This will help you to monitor your key signature musictheory progress over time and improve your results and studypatterns. Date, time of day, and time taken, are recorded for up to42 attempts in each key signature category (you can clear dataseparately for each category if needed).4. A bar graph compares your results from the four main keysignature categories - major sharps, minor sharps, major flats andminor flats. Once you have achieved high scores, with quick recall(time taken) in these four categories try mixed categories such andmajor and minor sharps, finally building up to quizzes of 30 or 45questions covering all key signatures.5. The randomness of the quiz questions has been adjusted tomaximize learning in several ways. One of these is that you willnot be asked the same question again after you have correctlyanswered it twice, in that quiz attempt.6. Your daily high, low and average scores in each key signaturecategory are also calculated and plotted on the daily stats graph.This can be used to monitor memory retention. How much can yourecall after 1 day, week or month and how long does it take you torecall the information?How fast can you finish the quiz?

This amino acid app for biochemistry will help you to memorizethe20 most common amino acids, their structure, side chain class,1letter code and other properties.
