What students tell us.
I’ve been using MusoLearn for a few months now, and it’s helped me so much while learning music theory. I really love the short and clear videos. They make each topic easy to understand.
MusoLearn is a really useful app that helped me a lot with my musical terms. I really wish I knew this app earlier!
MusoLearn has helped me through learning Music Theory greatly, the videos are short and straight to the point, offering easy ways to learn difficult topics.
It has helped me to grasp a deeper understanding of unfamiliar topics, and provided more depth to learning these topics than self-learning.
MusoLearn has been really helpful for me and my brother, our teacher was very impressed by how much we learned.
You don’t need to read music to help.
MusoLearn is built so your child can learn the theory without you having to explain it.
Your child learns from the video
Each lesson explains one idea in a few minutes. Your child can pause it, replay it or slow it down until it makes sense.
The quizzes mark themselves
The score shows as soon as a quiz is submitted, so you can see what your child got right without knowing the theory.
Questions go to a teacher, not to you
Your child types a question, or sends a photo of the written work, in the course chat. A MusoLearn teacher replies, usually within 24 hours.
Lessons are taught by MusoHunt teachers (opens in a new tab). MusoLearn is part of MusoHunt, a directory of vetted music teachers.

- Levels 1 to 5, written for students preparing for AMEB Theory of Music Grades 1 to 5. Start at the grade your child needs; every other level is included. Level 6 is coming soon at no extra cost.
- Why a whole year? At two or three lessons a week, a level takes roughly four to six weeks (Level 1) up to ten to fifteen weeks (Level 5). Grade 6, 7 and 8 practical need Grade 2, 3 and 4 theory, and AMusA needs Grade 5 (check AMEB’s current Manual), so one membership covers the whole path. All year your child also has the piano scales and arpeggios courses and aural training.
- Piano scales and arpeggios courses
- Aural training (intervals, rhythm and pitch) and the full Interval Trainer game
- Course chat with a MusoLearn teacher, for questions and photos of written work
- The MusoLearn app on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac

Questions parents ask.
Your child
Which grade should my child start with?
If your child has not studied theory before, start with Grade 1. If they are part-way through, the free placement quiz takes about three minutes and points to a level. You can also watch the first lessons of any grade free, with no sign-up, to see where it feels right.
Does my child need the earlier grades first?
Each level builds on the one before it. A child who already knows the earlier levels can go straight to the grade they need. If anything feels shaky, every earlier level is included in the membership.
Can my child do it without me sitting beside them?
Yes. Each lesson explains the idea before the exercise, the quizzes mark themselves, and questions go to a MusoLearn teacher in the course chat. You can log in to your child’s account and check progress on the dashboard.
How long does each level take?
At two or three lessons a week, with the quizzes and worksheets, roughly: four to six weeks for Level 1, five to seven for Level 2, six to nine for Level 3, seven to eleven for Level 4 and ten to fifteen for Level 5. Your child can go at their own speed, and every lesson can be replayed.
Who teaches the lessons?
MusoHunt teachers (opens in a new tab). MusoLearn is part of MusoHunt, a directory of vetted music teachers. Questions in the course chat are answered by a MusoLearn teacher, usually within 24 hours.
Does it work on an iPad or phone?
Yes. MusoLearn works in any browser and in the MusoLearn app on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac.
The AMEB exam
Why does my child need theory?
Reading and understanding music helps in every lesson. AMEB also sets theory requirements for the higher practical grades: Grade 6 practical needs a Grade 2 theory pass, Grade 7 needs Grade 3, Grade 8 needs Grade 4 and AMusA needs Grade 5. AMEB holds the practical certificate until the theory pass is recorded. Check AMEB’s current Manual for your exam year.
How does the AMEB theory exam work?
AMEB runs its Theory of Music exams itself, online, with no fixed exam date. After enrolling, a student has 12 months to do the exam and can take practice exams in AMEB’s portal first (check AMEB’s current terms). MusoLearn teaches the theory. It does not enrol students in the exam, set it, run it or mark it, and cannot predict a result.
Is MusoLearn part of AMEB?
No. MusoLearn is an independent course provider. MusoLearn Music Theory Levels 1 to 5 are written for students preparing for AMEB Theory of Music Grades 1 to 5, and AMEB is mentioned only to describe that exam. Always check the current AMEB syllabus for your exam year.
