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.

Outstanding!!

Finally, I am able to recognize notes in a scale. Truly a miracle!!

Quick Way To Learn

i downloaded this app some time back had not time to use it and today, in one day, i am using it and getting 100% on intro levels.

Helps to sing tonic

By singing the tonic, you can figure out the degree of the scale. I will be having my middle school orchestra students try this out this year for ear training.

The best ear training I have ear done.

I wish all musicians knew about or had access to this app. My ability to learn new songs by ear on my bass went up tremendously and it is in no doubt do to this app.

Beginning

After a week I’m finding it easy to stick with it and hopeful I’m improving. One wish is to be able to hear the cadence just once at the beginning of a game. I dread hearing it after each tone. Too much.

Thanks

Good interface

It’s working

Seems to be working well!

Very efficient

Helps quite a bit

Simple, enjoyable, effective

I get lost with this app, in developing interval recognition.

Wow! Suzuki trained musician who never learned theory

I was on track to be a professional classical pianist as a child but couldn’t pay attention to the theory. I’ve been using this for like an hour on a car ride (passenger) and am in love. What I’ve been missing!
