Ear training is the practice of recognising what you hear: which interval two notes form, which chord is sounding, whether a progression is I–IV–V or I–V–vi–IV, which scale a melody uses. This trainer turns that into short exercises with instant feedback. Choose an area, a level and a mode, listen, answer, and the next question adapts to how you did.
There are two tracks. Relative pitch trains you to hear relationships, the skill every musician uses to play by ear, transcribe and improvise. Perfect pitch drills absolute note recognition for those who want to develop it. Progress, streaks and achievements are saved to your account, and a leaderboard adds friendly competition.
Read live from the current plan settings, so this section always matches what the tool enforces today.
Unlike a flash-card app, the trainer plays real sampled instruments, lets you answer on a piano or MIDI keyboard, and sits next to the chord analyzer and theory lessons so what you hear in practice connects to what you play.
How often should I practise?
Ten to fifteen minutes a day beats a long weekly session. The ear learns through repetition with rest in between, so short daily quizzes at a level where you score around 80% are ideal.
Should I start with intervals or chords?
Start with interval comparison and identification at the beginner level. Chords are stacked intervals, so chord identification becomes much easier once thirds, fifths and octaves are automatic.
Can perfect pitch really be learned as an adult?
Reliable absolute pitch is rare in adults, but many people improve significantly with daily drilling, and relative pitch, which the rest of the trainer builds, is what most musicians actually use. Treat the perfect-pitch track as a long-term experiment.
What do the levels mean?
Beginner uses a few very different sounds, such as a major third against an octave. Each level adds closer intervals, more chord types, inversions and faster tempos, up to master, where everything can appear.
Can I answer on a real instrument?
Yes. Connect a MIDI keyboard and play your answer, or use the on-screen piano. Playing the answer rather than clicking a name trains the link between ear and hands.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, when you are signed in. Scores, streaks and achievements are stored per area and level, so you can see which intervals or chords still trip you up.
