How This Ear Training Tool Works
Welcome! Our ear training app is crafted to empower musicians of all levels to develop their relative pitch and musical intuition. Through interactive exercises and immediate feedback, you'll build a stronger connection between your ear and your instrument.
"The single most important skill for any musician is the ability to hear and understand music in real time."
What Is Ear Training?
Ear training is the process of learning to identify musical elements—such as intervals, chords, and scale degrees—by ear. This app focuses on scale degree recognition: hearing a chord, then a note or melody, and identifying its position within the scale.
- Listen to a chord to establish the key
- Hear a note or melody
- Decide which scale degree(s) you heard (1–7)
- Get instant feedback and try again!
How the App Works
- Click "Start" to begin an exercise
- The app plays a chord (your tonal center)
- You hear a note or melody
- Select the scale degree(s) you think you heard
- Receive feedback and tips for improvement
Technology Behind the App
Web Audio API powers the sound engine, generating pure sine waves for clarity. No external samples are needed, so the app is fast, lightweight, and works offline.
Tip: Try using headphones for the best experience and clearer pitch perception.
