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.

Easy to use and very effective.

Love this app ❤️

Great ear training

Practical and useful ear training method. Works well. Best I’ve found. I love the solfege option! The customisation feature is also very helpful, as it enables configuration to fit any pieces you may be working on. Key, scale and note content. Excellent app. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

Awesome app

One of the best music theory apps out there. Using it you can really improve your musical ear with almost no effort and it’s completely free

So so good

This has enabled me to become aware of pitch of notes. Surprising that after a few weeks of 10 minutes a day I can consistently identify notes correctly across the keyboard. So far I’m still in the key of C but about to go to other keys - brilliant. The fact that it’s free is great. Love it.

Relative pitch for the pitch imperfect

A great, light weight, intuitive app. Easy to squeeze in around busy life while providing focused functional ear training to talentless beginner musicians like me!

More instrument options please

Great, but would be better if it had the option to hear guitar or stringed instruments, instead of just piano keys.

Addictive in a good way

So simple, so good. Keep practising and you will improve!

It works!

I’ve been using this daily for a couple of months and I’m seeing a dramatic improvement. It really works.

Excellent and easy to use

With frequent use has improved my recognition of the sounds of notes position in the octave.

Excellent

Does exactly what it claims
