Questions

What is ear training?

Ear training is practice at recognising what you hear in music: the distance between two notes (an interval), whether a chord is major or minor, how a melody moves. Musicians use it to play by ear, sing in tune, write down what they hear and pass aural exams.

How long does ear training take?

Short, regular practice works best. A few minutes a day is enough to notice a difference within weeks, which is why you get three free rounds every day.

Is it free?

Yes. The tests, tools, daily challenge and three rounds a day are free. Pro is $39 a year for unlimited practice, every level and progress tracking. Founding members pay $27 a year and keep that price for as long as they renew.

Do I need an instrument?

No. Everything plays in your browser. Headphones help, but phone or laptop speakers work too.

Will it help with my ABRSM or Trinity aural test?

Yes. The interval, chord and cadence exercises train the same skills, and Pro will include practice packs written in the style of the grade exams.
