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.

Absolutely useless

I hear a Series of tones an se a list of numbers. Pres numbers and hear no sound. Apperently it was the wrong numbers. No feedback and then I hear the same series of tone. Like guesing the combination for a lock.

Simply Great

Didn’t know I needed it, but it’s great!

Great app - bring back one feature

This is a great app for earttraining! But please bring back the possibility to edit the basic courses as before the big update. I would like to have the possibility to change which cadence and how often it repeats in the basic courses not only in my custom levels:) but as said - great way to get into ear training

Its ok

Still fundamental things missing 1. You must have the option to compare your answer to the correct one after each question. Otherwise its impossible to learn the differences. 2. There has to be an option to allow the chord sound to be sustained while the note is played. In real music, notes and chords are played simultaniously

Above average!

You learn a lot with this app but sometimes it almost gets stuck on 1, 3 and 5 and there's a long way between the #4 and b6's so that it's more difficult to learn these intervals. Not perfect but useful. The sound quality is ok too, as opposed to many other apps.

Brilliant

Efficient method

Very efficient method and nicely laid out exercises with increasing difficulty.

Does what it says

Very simple app, but very effective and does exactly what it says. I use it every day.

Super!

Vær tålmodig, for ligepludselig har man fået det ind under huden og det virker bare!

Great app for ear training

Most other ear training apps don’t focus on this particular way of hearing scales, and I was completely new to this before using the app. But once you get a hang of it it’s really a great supplement to your ear training and lets you focus more on functions of the different scales steps and how they lead up or down rather than listening for specific intervals.
