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.

Wok fried on

This used to have an automated resolution mode that I would use to practice while doing other stuff, but I can't find it now. I will have to switch to another app... 😓

Simple and clear!

Good application

Good app but lacks some important bits

de1pher on

The app is great but it lacks black keys! Additionally, it would have been great to add other timbres, not just piano

Ear traing that finally seems to make sense

asperine on

Flying jazzdoctor on

I love this app, I've tried numerous ones over the years but this is the first one that helps me progress a lot in a short time. You still need a lot of practice ofcourse but by customizing you can really practice on your weaknesses and keep getting better. Thanks for making this a free app! Update: still enjoying and progressing! But a request: it would be nice to use a midi keyboard as input. I would be grateful if you made it possible!

Wow

Been playing music in one form or another for 25+ years and never had “the ear”. This is teaching me SO fast, its madness!

Hear again

Dfrter on

It’s great to hear the notes, plain and simple, without bells and whistles. After a while the preliminary sequence of notes before the one to play, keeps me from remembering the test note clearly. It would be nice to be able to turn that off.

Fun app

rbsdki on

Nice way to train your hearing
