![]() ![]() You're be presented with ionian and pentatonic major scales and aeolian and pentatonic minor scales. For example, choose beginner and scale recognition. Choose your level and start with an area to learn. There are four levels of difficulty, from beginner to professional. The app comes with two modes: learning and training. The app provides training ranging from interval and scale recognition to key signature recognition and chord music reading. With 10 different exercise modes, Better Ears will train you to hear, play and read music in a simple and intuitive way. ![]() Well done for the gamification of this test btw, I would push the cursor even further, gamifying stuffs like this can be great.Better Ears (US$24.99) is a new Mac app that teaches you music theory while enhancing your hearing through training exercises.ĭo you know your intervals? Your minor second, fifth or major seventh from a given root note? Or a major harmonic scale from a mixolydian chordal mode? Not only can you read it and play it, but can you hear it? This quizz lead to interesting questions to me. But once in the 1% range, there’s some I could definitely pinpoint as the answers but some that relied mostly on “gut feeling”. I found it interesting that there’s an overall progression, I didn’t tried them multiple times, only once each, but I’ll maybe do them once a day for few days and post my results as answers of this post if there’s any change.ĭoes this method can really improve my earing or is it just my ear adapting during the test but without “longterm benefit” ? Does this earing improvment can be really used in real life situations ? Am I earing better or just developing strategies that fits the purpose of this quizz ? For instance, at first, it was like when I tune a guitar, and so spotting lower second pitch was way easier than spotting higher pitch, then I refined a bit that strategy, using my hand and creating a “lower note expectation” for the second note, trying to ear if the note eared meet the expected note in my head. Then back to the sine using the melodic mode: I first took the test with default settings, getting a 8% than, after reading the comments, I got caught by the game high score aspect and decided to test once all waveform and the two mode. That was really fun, even tho a bit ear breaking even at low volume, I found the progression really interesting. I’m 31yo, musician (guitar), trained, and few earing issues as most gigging musicians, using average headphones, firefox browser. I hope you find this useful and feel free to provide feedback in the comments. Try different tones for each of the first and second note to hear subtle differences in pitch when the notes have a diffrent tones. You can also fix the first note to be a high, medium or low note or have the first note change for each test. Options allow you to play the notes melodically, one after the other, or harmonically where the first note continues playing while the second note plays. See how small an interval you can differentiate. As you get answers right, the notes will get closer together until they are almost identical. Pick if the second note is higher or lower than the first. Two notes will be played that are 100% of a semitone apart. The intonation ear trainer is designed to help develop your ear for intonation, or how well you can pick if a note is in tune.
