After the cadence plays, you are asked to identify a pitch and select the number on the screen that corresponds to the note. The app does not cover intervals (the distance between two notes), or chords, but anyone who has mastered the content in this app will have a fairly easy time learning those two concepts.Įach exercise begins with a cadence (a few chords played within the key to help your ear understand which key you are in). This system is essentially the same as solfege (do re mi fa so la ti do), except the scale degrees use numbers instead of syllables (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1). ("Scale Degree" is a term for notes that are numbered based on where they fall within the scale.) This is a pretty minor gripe, but if you are motivated by scoring yourself and improving your scores as you progress through the exercises, you may want to consider another app.įunctional Ear Trainer by Sergiy Korchan uses a unique method of ear training, focusing on identifying scale degrees. Users are meant to guess the answer in their head and then click "Show" to display the correct answer. My only complaint with this app is it is not actually set up in a quiz format, meaning there is not actually a way to guess answers and score yourself. Beginners will probably need to adjust the settings from the app default to make the exercises more manageable. This would be ideal for pianists, guitarists, and songwriters who are wanting to expand their chord vocabulary and get better at chord identification.Įach section of the app is completely customizable, with the ability to turn on and off intervals, scales, and chords that you haven't learned yet. The Chords section is one of the most advanced chord identification exercises I've seen in all of the apps. The Scales and Modes section covers major and minor scales and all modes. The answer shows both the letter name of the second note and the interval (the distance between the two notes). I would recommend most musicians focus on the Relative Pitch section of the app, which plays a sequence of two notes and asks you to guess the second note. The Absolute Pitch section is great for musicians with perfect pitch to practice identifying notes, but it does include the option to play three different octaves of the note "C," for those of us who don't have perfect pitch (Most people dont, and that's okay!)

The good news is that you can train your ears, beginning right here in these courses by Gregg Fine.The Ear Trainer Pro app by Ilia Lyschev is divided into four sections: Absolute Pitch, Relative Pitch, Scales and Modes, and Chord Types. Whether you perform, listen to or mix music, knowing the intervals, chords and scales behind what you hear is an essential skill that all musicians need to have.
