What MEG does
Exercises on jazz standards
Search for the tune you are working on and generate exercises on its chords: guide tones, arpeggios, scale patterns and chromatic approach, on the whole tune or on a single section, in every key and with bass, piano and drums accompaniment.
From the saved exercise you transpose it in one click and save it in the other keys: each one keeps its own speed and progress.

Why MEG is different
The old way
An exercise book
A few hundred exercises, always the same, written in a handful of keys. You transpose the rest yourself, and nobody plays them for you.
The old way
A backing track
It accompanies you, but it does not tell you what to play: progression, key and tempo are those of the recording.
The new way
MEG
Over fifty million exercises written on the staff, in every key, with a backing that plays along at the tempo you choose and progress that stays measured.
What you can do with MEG
Scale exercises
Over 30 scales in every key, 24 patterns and 18 articulations, over one or more octaves or within the range of your instrument.
Chord progressions and turnarounds
Major and minor II V I, blues, Rhythm changes, nine turnarounds and the progressions you write yourself: guide tones, arpeggios, scale patterns and chromatic approach on every chord, in one key or in all of them.
Jazz standards
Over 1300 standards in the catalogue: find the tune and generate exercises on its chords, on the whole tune or on one section, in every key. A saved exercise is transposed and saved in the other keys in one click.
Ready-made paths
Twenty-four playlists in four levels, from Basic to Pro: choose the key, add them to your exercises and practise them in the right order.
Tablature
For guitar, bass and ukulele, under the score of every exercise. For guitar and bass you choose the fingering: simple, by position or three notes per string.
On the stand, on a tablet
The app is optimised for a tablet in portrait: the score at full width and the controls within reach of your fingers, like a sheet on the music stand. It also works on computers and phones.
Accompaniment
Every exercise plays with double bass, piano and drums, with or without swing. Switch off the line and play over the backing yourself.
Your archive
Save your exercises and find them again with search, coloured tags, personal notes and playlists.
Contacts and sharing
Connect with another user, a student or a teacher for example, and send them an exercise or a whole playlist: once they accept, it sits among their own.
Progress
Record the metronome speed you reach: the history and the chart show how you improve, exercise by exercise.
Linked theory
Seven tools on scales, keys, chords and intervals, linked to the generators: from a scale to its exercise in one click.
Designed by a musician, for those who practise
I have spent a lifetime practising scales and arpeggios, exploring every possibility they offer, and looking for new ways to make practice more effective, more stimulating and more creative.
Out of this experience came an idea: to create a simple tool, open to everyone and at an almost symbolic price, able to replace hundreds of exercise books, offer endless ways to practise and, above all, let every musician follow their own progress over time.
So I brought together my two passions, music and programming, and MEG – Music Exercises Generator was born.
I designed it for those setting out for the first time into the vast universe of scales and arpeggios, but also for those who, after many years of music, want to keep their level high, keep testing themselves and find fresh reasons to improve every day.
Because I believe that studying music should never become mere repetition, but remain a path of discovery, curiosity and continuous growth.
I hope MEG can become a valued travelling companion on your musical journey, just as it has become on mine.
Happy practising, and enjoy the music!
