Ear Trainer

Ear training for intervals, chords, scale degrees, melodies and progressions, one level at a time. Each interval comes with a song you already know, and there's a new round of five every day.

Where should I start?

With intervals. Each one comes with a familiar song, like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the fifth.

How long does it take?

The daily round is five questions. Levels take as long as you like.

Can I practice without a clock?

Yes. Practice mode has no time limit and brings back the ones you miss more often.

Is there a faster game?

Rush gives you two minutes to name as many as you can.

What is relative pitch?

Hearing how far apart two notes are and naming them from that. Training intervals builds it.
