Ear Training

Hear and name the distance between two notes.

Practice ascending, descending, and harmonic intervals from minor seconds to perfect octaves.

Recognize single notes against a fixed reference.

Hone perfect or relative pitch by naming notes inside a key or across the chromatic scale.

Tell major from minor, diminished from augmented.

Recognize the quality of triads and seventh chords by ear, in any inversion.

Hear a scale played up or down and name it.

Distinguish major, natural, harmonic and melodic minor, the seven church modes, the pentatonics, and the blues, whole tone and chromatic scales.

Sing or recognize scale degrees by name.

Hear a note after the tonic and name its solfège degree, from Do Mi Sol up to all 12, or sing a short phrase from the staff or by ear.

Hear a rhythm and identify the pattern.

Listen to a 1-bar rhythm and pick the matching note pattern. From simple quarters and halves to syncopated sixteenth-note figures.

Flash a note, name it fast

A note appears on the staff - tap the correct letter (C–B) before the countdown hits zero. Five difficulty levels from simple on-staff notes to ledger lines and both clefs.

Hear a loop, name the Roman numeral pattern.

A chord progression plays on repeat - identify the pattern (I–V–vi–IV, ii–V–I…). 30 progressions from iconic pop to jazz, minor and modal across five difficulty levels.

Hear a tune, write it down

A short tune plays on the piano and you write it on the staff: a note value from the bar, a pitch from the keyboard. Each note is marked for pitch and for rhythm. Five levels, from a few quarter notes in C major to four bars in minor and the bass clef.

Functions, cadences and the bass by ear.

Four-part chord connections play on the piano, and you name each chord, name the cadence or write the bass line. Five levels, from I-V-I in C major to the inversions of V7 in major and minor.
