    How to train your musical ear

    Relative pitch — recognizing the distance between notes and the quality of chords — is one of the most useful skills for any musician. With just a few minutes a day you will start identifying intervals and chords by ear, which lets you learn songs without sheet music, improvise with intention, tune better and transcribe faster. Start on the easy level (unison, major 3rd, perfect 5th and octave) and level up once you get them comfortably. Practice both melodic mode (notes in a row) and harmonic (together).

    Frequently asked questions

    What is ear training?

    It is the practice of recognizing musical sounds by ear: intervals (the distance between two notes) and chords. Training your ear lets you learn songs, improvise, tune and transcribe much faster. This tool plays a sound and you choose what it was.

    How do I use the ear trainer?

    Choose the mode (intervals or chords) and the level. Press "Play" to listen; then pick the answer from the buttons. It tells you instantly if you were right and builds your streak. You can replay as many times as you want before answering.

    What is the difference between melodic and harmonic interval?

    Melodic: the two notes play one after another (like a melody). Harmonic: the two notes play together (like a chord). Practicing both is key: melodic helps you learn melodies and harmonic helps you recognize chords.

    Does it help recognize chords in a song?

    Yes. With chord mode you learn to tell major, minor, diminished, augmented and sevenths by ear, which are the basis of almost every song. With steady practice you will start recognizing them within the music you listen to.

    Is it free and does it work on mobile?

    Yes, completely free, no sign-up, and it works on PC, tablet and mobile right in the browser, with sound included. Perfect to practice a few minutes a day.
