Description

Have you (or maybe one of your friends) ever wanted to learn to transcribe or play music by ear?

It is so important for a musician to know what you are hearing. A good musical ear helps when you are composing, improvising, transcribing melodies, or playing with others.

Most likely you have already tried different programs to learn to recognize intervals or even to acquire perfect pitch. However, although such programs develop your ear, but can you actually play any melody you hear as soon as you listen to it?

Imagine you could understand music... It is like when somebody is talking to you, you not only hear pleasant sounds, but you recognize words and their meaning.

One day I came across Alain Benbassat's program called "Functional Ear Trainer" and have been using it ever since. It is based on Alain's method to learn to recognize tones.

The main difference between the Functional Ear Trainer and other methods is that it teaches you to distinguish between tones in the context of a particular musical key. You begin to recognize the role (or function) of each tone in this key, which is incredibly similar to its role in other keys of the same scale.

And it is *guaranteed* anyone can gradually develop this skill. It does not matter:
- who you are - an absolute beginner in music or a virtuoso professional musician;
- how old you are - a 3 yo kid or a 90+ adult;
- what musical instrument you play (you don't even have to play one).

The only requirement is to practice for 10 minutes a day.

I was so excited about this ear trainer that I have developed a mobile app based on the Alain Benbassat method. I hope you will find it useful.

Ear training finally became fun

I was skeptical at first. I’m now addicted and really enjoying the practice!

Great way to train your ears!

Game changed

I’ve been struggling with finding a good method for ear training for years. This changed everything!! I use it along side “complete ear trainer”. They dovetail each other perfectly. I’ve put a lot of work into ear training but never really seen results. This means my progress is quick with this app. But the way it’s changing how my brain conceptualises intervals is significant. No more singing songs to remember the interval. I tested the app out of my partner who isn’t a musician and even she had instant results. Will never talk about “this song is this interval” again. Thank you

Great aid to learning music

Easy to use and really makes you concentrate on intervals and familiarise yourself with notes.

Excellent App

Douse the job well

Wonderful

I’ve tried a bunch of ear training apps, and this is the only one that had me coming back and continuing to improve. Thank you for making this.

Love this, simple but effective

I would pay for an expansion to gamify the advanced part and have more basics for chromatic training.

Really effective.

The systematic build up of skills, and the use of listening work and nothing else, make this quick and effective for training your ear to recognise note position and relationships in any key. Well designed.

Fantastic

Awesome job

Very helpful
