Scales

Game:

The student hears a scale and has to choose:
• for multiple choice (text or notes): the right one from (max. 5) possible answers;
• or as dictation: put the notes in the right place.

The app generates questions in ‘random’ order based on teacher-chosen material and preferences.

To be set by the teacher (on the teachers’ page):

• question (if not filled in, the standard question will be displayed)
• type of question/display (see below)
• playback speed: very slow / slow / medium / fast
• Keep settings of the player?
– Yes (=standard): settings of the player (such as key) affect the display in the app;
– No: the teacher chooses instrument and key (+ transpose if necessary) as it is also displayed in the app.
• mode of playback: ascending, descending or random
• content (see below)

• number of response options (2 to 5)
• number of questions/number of correct answers (+ minimum % correct answers)

Type of question/display n the app:

Text (multiple choice)
