Play By Ear - Ear Training

This tool is really interesting to increase your ability to recognize intervals and melodies. If you're a music teacher, give ir to your students, it will help them a lot.

Viene bien para aprender a reconocer las notas.

Muy útil, la pena es que no sea en español.

Es muy útil y con diseño atractivo. Interesante también lo de lis patrones de jazz. Gracias

It looks pretty cool and helpful. Not tryed with the instrument yet but looking forward too! You definetly must create a trial/lite version and charge for the complete one!!

I like this app a lot, and it fills a need, but it’s a little tough for beginners (or people learning a new instrument, like me). A couple of things would make it easier: 1. Provide a “repeat” option: play the phrase, wait, play it again, wait, then give answer. Gives the student two tries. (Could even give a three-tries option.) 2. Allow limiting the scale patterns to a selected set of scales/keys. Maybe the jazz licks one, too. You can fudge this with the random notes by selecting notes to fit a scale, which is what I’ve ended up doing, for now, but it would be nice to have something more melodic. I have not tried anything with chords, yet, because I’m using this with trumpet. Which gives me another suggestion: maybe you could provide profiles for multi-instrumentalists (it would only affect pitch recognition, I suppose, so might not be worth the effort).

Fantastic app for ear training. I am a piano teacher and I am using it personally and giving it to my students. I have not found anything better.

Excellent. Random root notes good. Would like to test from the same root note sometimes.

Use it

This app has been a great addition to my ear training. After getting a good grasp on my intervals, this has been an awesome way to apply that knowledge without getting overwhelmed. I think every musician can benefit from doing some kind of training like this, and this app makes it possible to train without needing a partner to do call and response with - you can do it on your own from anywhere. In my opinion, two additional features would make it a perfect app. Neither are THAT crucial, but would help. 1) vary the rhythms of the randomly generated melodies, and 2) add a bass clef option. Even without those features, I’ll still continue to spend a few minutes a day with this app and I’m sure I will see benefits over time.
