## Description

Tenuto is a Chrome extension featuring 24 highly customizable music theory exercises designed to boost your musicality. It includes six calculators—accidentals, intervals, scales, chords, analysis symbols, and twelve-tone matrices—and a broad set of practice modes that cover note, interval, scale, and chord identification and construction on staff, keyboard, and fretboard.

Practice is hands-on and interactive: tap notes on staff, press piano keys, or move notes on the fretboard to construct targets or identify given tonal content. With ear-training exercises and keyboard- and fretboard-based variants, Tenuto provides scalable, focused training for theory and analysis.
