Why generate your own deck instead of using a printed set

Most A-Level music students end up rewriting the same listening terms, cadence types and set-work dates by hand, and that copying takes time away from listening. A-Level music flashcards made from your own class notes and slides fix that, because the cards test the exact content your exam board and teacher expect.

  • Upload slides, notes, PDFs or photos of textbook pages.
  • Cards cover terms, forms, cadences, set-work details and dates.
  • Spaced repetition brings difficult cards back more often.
  • Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser.
Example A-Level music flashcards on form and cadences
What are the three main sections of sonata form?Exposition, development and recapitulation. The development is where the themes are fragmented and move through different keys.
What happens in the B section of a ternary (ABA) form?It contrasts with A in key, melody or texture, and then A returns to close the form and give it balance.
What is a perfect cadence?A move from V (or V7) to I, ending a phrase with a strong sense of closure because the tonic chord arrives as the final resolution.
What is an imperfect cadence?A phrase ending on the dominant chord, usually approached from I or IV, which leaves the music feeling unfinished and open to continue.
What is a ground bass?A short bass melody repeated continually while the upper parts change, as in Purcell's Dido's Lament.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word documents, plain notes or photos of textbook pages, and the cards reflect what your teacher actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so your revision time goes to the terms and set-work details you keep forgetting.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch to multiple choice or short answer questions with explanations, or map a topic such as sonata form as a mind map.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your notes. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each card against your syllabus and remove anything you do not need.

Study a little every day

Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition decide when each card returns.

Ready-made printable sheets are generic, so they rarely match your set works or the way your teacher labels a texture. Generating a custom deck from your own material keeps the wording consistent with your revision, and the spaced repetition schedule shows you which topics need another pass.

Start by uploading one unit, such as harmony or a single set work, and review the first deck before adding the rest. Splitting the material by topic keeps each deck short enough to finish in a session.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for A-Level music revision?

Aim for one card per term, composer detail or cadence type, and split a large topic such as set works into several smaller decks. Short decks are easier to finish in one session and to repeat over several days.

How should I use flashcards for listening and analysis questions?

Put the musical feature on the front, such as an instrument, texture or harmonic device, and the period, composer or example on the back. Review the cards you get wrong most often until you can name the feature from the sound alone.

Can I export my A-Level music flashcards?

Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month and no exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
