Description
Have you (or maybe one of your friends) ever wanted to learn to transcribe or play music by ear? It is so important for a musician to know what you are hearing. A good musical ear helps when you are composing, improvising, transcribing melodies, or playing with others. Most likely you have already tried different programs to learn to recognize intervals or even to acquire perfect pitch. However, although such programs develop your ear, but can you actually play any melody you hear as soon as you listen to it? Imagine you could understand music... It is like when somebody is talking to you, you not only hear pleasant sounds, but you recognize words and their meaning. One day I came across Alain Benbassat's program called "Functional Ear Trainer" and have been using it ever since. It is based on Alain's method to learn to recognize tones. The main difference between the Functional Ear Trainer and other methods is that it teaches you to distinguish between tones in the context of a particular musical key. You begin to recognize the role (or function) of each tone in this key, which is incredibly similar to its role in other keys of the same scale. And it is *guaranteed* anyone can gradually develop this skill. It does not matter: - who you are - an absolute beginner in music or a virtuoso professional musician; - how old you are - a 3 yo kid or a 90+ adult; - what musical instrument you play (you don't even have to play one). The only requirement is to practice for 10 minutes a day. I was so excited about this ear trainer that I have developed a mobile app based on the Alain Benbassat method. I hope you will find it useful.

    I use this app while on my daily commute to work. Been using it for close to a year now and I can definitely see improvements. It takes a lot of time and attention and it's not always rewarding but ear training is something every aspiring musician has to put effort into. This is a great way to up your transcribing skills. The app deals with recognising scale degrees alone. But I use it along with another app called ChordProg which has you recognising chords as well.

    It seems very hard to train my ear by this method. Even after three months my score on just the third (full octave ) basic training module varies between 40 and 70%. It seems the key impact and loudness variation in the test tones leads me to confuse tones. It is not clear what if anything the preparatory chords are signalling, nor does the method explanation cue the learner as to what can be done to improve recognition or what to look for. If the app has been tested by musically gifted or aware persons who improve reliably to 90% or better over a few weeks, it does not mean unhinged persons can train their ears by this method too. Unsuccessful for me ! There should be an option to play the notes generated by the system for recognition oneself in order to train recognition. Those without an absolute sense of tone inevitably have to use up several tones for initial orientation.

    This helps you train your ears in a musical context (a chord progression that leads to the key) rather than between two “floating intervals.” Simple app and well put together. And it’s free! Thanks to the author.
