Melody Ear Training can help improve:

• Interval recognition
• Sense of pitch
• Transcription skills
• Improvising skills
• Self esteem

---

How to Play:

• Tap "play" to hear the melody
• To hear the melody again, tap "replay"
• Use the piano to play the melody yourself
• Play often to improve your score!

---

MIDI In – Plug in your MIDI keyboard to enhance the experience! (Core MIDI compatible)

MIDI Out – If you have a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI, you can play Melody Ear Training using the sounds of that app.

---

Tips for the Beginners:

Start with "2 Notes" for the melody length, set the difficulty to "Diatonic", and set the "Scale" to "C".

Use the + and - keyboard range control to set the keyboard to a small range such as "C, D" or "C, D, E".

Keep practicing, and as you progress you'll want to make the range larger.

---

Tips for the Pros:

Set "Feedback" to "Never" and turn on "Autoplay" to play continuously without ever missing a beat. Crank up the tempo to see how fast you can go!

---

Melody Settings:

Scale – 13 major scales

Difficulty – Diatonic, Random Tonic, Chromatic

Length – 2 to 6 notes

Tempo – 60 to 320 BPM

Keyboard Range – Starting at 2 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D”) and up to 12 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G”) with the ability to change octaves.

Feedback – Set to "Never" to stop all messages. Set to "Wrong" if you only want messages for incorrect melodies.

Sound – Set to "Piano" to hear the built-in piano sound. Set to "MIDI Out" to hear the sound of a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI.

Autoplay – Turn on to always play the next melody immediately. Turn off if you want to play the keyboard freely between melodies.

Key Labels – Turn off to remove note names on white keys.

Allow Unison – Turn off if you don't want the same note to be played twice in a row.

---

About the Difficulty Setting:

"Diatonic" uses notes from a major scale. This setting is recommended.

"Random Tonic" uses notes from a random major scale each time.

"Chromatic" mode is the "extreme mode" where any combination of notes is possible. As a result, strange intervals like the Augmented 2nd (ex. F to G#) are possible.

---

About the Score:

Melody Ear Training is all about self progression. Tap the score to reset at any time. The game goes on forever and the music never ends!

Very good app

wges175 on

App is very well done and levels of difficulty make it easy to progress

Decent program, but missing features.

WaterNotWords on

This is an OK program to practice note recognition. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to reset progress. Ideally, the app also needs to keep track of the questions that are missed and then give those questions again and frequently to reduce the amount of wasted time and improve note memory.

An amazing ear training tool.

I like how simple and effective it is. It just gives random notes instead of designated ones, you can do this every single day and never get tired of it. Wish they can do a chord version.

Useful app

Vcb1949 on

Nice features. Would like to see selection for type of interval eg ascending only vcb49

It's useful

01Gigger on

But I'd like it to use 2 octaves instead of 1. Also, diatonic excercices are only in C Major. We should be able to choose any 15 keys and it should include harmonic, melodic and natural minor. Other than that it' good and fun to use.

Works fine.

Alley Yoop on

Works as advertised but I'd really like to see some use of black notes instead of just the white notes. Also it would be nice to move to 4 or 5 note sequences instead of just 3. Update: thanks!!! New version is much better. My wish list for the future would be 2 and 3 note chords.
