Scale and SticKey makes understanding music theory simple and enjoyable by synthesizing 5 theoretical concepts (modes, key signatures, scales, chord progressions, and solfa) into the concept of building a Note Team (TM).

Follow these steps to get started on your journey to understanding and using music theory through the Scale and SticKey app:

1. Spin the solfa wheel or drag the solfa slider to put 'do' on a new position.

2. Drag the players around the outside of the wheel so that every player lines up with one of the seven solfa positions. (If you get stuck, click the central circle with the '?' to have the app move the players for you.)

3. Once every player is on a solfa position, you have formed a Note Team (TM)! The team captain has an arrow pointing at his solfa symbol, the key signature is shown in the center of the wheel, and the key is named in the upper left corner.

4. To change team captains, either double-click on a new solfa name or use the arrows under the key name in the top left corner. Each time you set a new captain, you are changing to a new musical mode.

5. Listen to the scales by clicking the play arrow under the key name. Change the type of scale using the buttons under the key name.

6. Listen to chord progressions by clicking the arrow under the chord progression. Change the progression style using the buttons under the chord progression, or switch to a new progression using the previous / next arrows next to the play button.

7. Play an individual chord by pressing the chord symbols inside the circles just outside the wheel.
