Early teacher pilot

Free Ear Training Activities for Music Teachers

Introduce musical home and relative pitch with a short browser-based listening activity. Students can begin without installing software, reading notation, or creating an account.

Free to use. Headphones or classroom speakers recommended.

Pilot lesson

A 10-minute first session

About 10 minutes
  1. Step 1

    Set the context

    Tell students that home is the note that feels settled or finished.

  2. Step 2

    Listen together

    Open Level 1 and complete the first examples as a group.

  3. Step 3

    Let students choose

    Students answer individually or vote before revealing the result.

  4. Step 4

    Reflect briefly

    Ask what made a note feel settled, open, curious, or tense.

What the activity practices

  • Recognizing whether a note feels like the tonal home
  • Comparing notes by their role inside a key
  • Using immediate feedback as a listening clue
  • Describing sounds with simple musical language

What you need

  • One phone, tablet, Chromebook, or computer with a modern browser
  • Headphones for individual work, or speakers for a group
  • No student name, email, or account for the introductory activity

Three questions after the pilot

The app is in an early teacher-testing stage. These questions are more useful than a general rating:

  1. 1. At what point did students understand the idea of musical home?
  2. 2. Which instruction, sound, or control caused hesitation?
  3. 3. Would you use this again, and in what kind of lesson?

If a teacher received this page as part of a pilot invitation, feedback can be returned directly to the person who shared it.

Clear boundaries for an early pilot

What is ready

The guided beginner path, listening feedback, local progress, and optional learner accounts are available now.

What is not being promised

This pilot does not provide grading, curriculum alignment, a production classroom dashboard, or evidence that it improves outcomes for every learner.

Run the activity with a beginner

Start at Level 1, let the learner replay freely, and stop after one short round.
