Ch!Ear – Chord Ear

The app is great for learning to recognize chord progressions. I have only used level one so far, it starts you off easy with lots of repetition of simple chord changes but with great variety in the chord voicings. I use Tenorio, Functional Ear Trainer, and Open Ear for other aspects of ear training. I highly recommend this app as well as those.

Literally the BEST ear training app for classical (or any, really) musicians looking to get better with identifying chord progressions and inversions! Been using it for years and just now getting around to leaving a review lol I do wish there were some additional features, but even so, I cannot recommend this app enough.

This is the best ear training app available on the Apple Store. Many thanks to the developer for continuing to update it for current operating systems. Serious Musicians: This is the one!

It’s just amazin

I just started using this app but find it to be very useful and well thought out. Tons of progressions and exercises for different levels with good audio and voicing. Well worth the $2.

I would highly recommend this app to anyone in a music theory/musicianship course, as well as to anyone just looking to improve their musical ear. I've been getting rusty since I graduated, but now I'm using this to get back into shape!

It's exactly what I was looking for.

Great app! Good for all skill levels. I practice everyday

I love this app so much. I think it's an absolute must for any aspiring musician and I was ecstatic to see it finally updated! So glad the developer didn't decide to abandon it. I've been using the app for years and I hope the creator knows how grateful I am for it. If you're in choir and don't have the strongest ear for hearing inner tones, this app can help. I like to swipe up (or down) on individual chords try to "lock on" to a middle tone, sing it while swiping again, sing it while tapping to hear them all simultaneously, and finally trying to hear it by itself (no singing). I find this incredibly helpful to try to develop your ear ability to harmonize. Ideally eventually you would just use relative pitch after one note instead of having to hear it, but just take your time building up. Cheers! Thank you, Mr. Peters!

This is the sole app (to my knowledge) entirely focused on chord progressions, an aspect of ear training that should be central in every serious program of music education because it is closely related to how music occurs in reality: progressing through time (as opposed to out-of-context chords and intervals). Ch! Ear will greatly help if you really want to know what is happening with the (tonal) music you hear. It'll help you to recognize inversions (therefore bass lines) and chord qualities in context. Chords, intervals, and scales identification drills are good only for passing antiquated music tests. If you spend time with this will take your ear from student to professional. Highly recommended!!!
