## What is Ear4Music?

Ear4Music teaches you to recognize musical notes by ear: calmly, step by step, with a method that pairs each note with a short melody.

The app is inspired by Pyotr Berezhansky's intonation method. Every note gets its own short melody that leads it home to the tonic, C. E walks down the steps (E–D–C), G runs up to the high C (G–A–B–C), and B gets there in one quick hop. Hear a note with its melody often enough and you will start to recognize it without the hint.

How it works
• Start with just four notes: C, E, G and the high C.
• Each new task adds one note (B, F, A and finally D) until you know the whole C major octave.
• Every exercise starts by tuning your ear to C major: C–E–G–C and back.
• Listen, wait for "Press a key" to light up, then tap the matching key on the piano keyboard.
• Wrong or too slow? The right key lights up green and the note plays again, so you remember the correct sound.
• You pass an exercise with 90% correct answers. Then move on, or repeat it to make it stick.

Seven tasks, 156 exercises
• An animated walkthrough with sound opens every task and explains the method in a friendly, playful way.
• Notes with intonation: the note plus its melody, the bridge to hearing notes on their own.
• Single notes without hints: the core of ear training.
• Series of 2, 3 and 4 notes in a row train musical memory and reaction speed.
• The tempo rises gradually from 15 to 65 notes per minute.
• After the full octave of white keys, the last two tasks add the black keys F sharp and B flat.

Made for daily practice
• A clear exercise path shows what you have done and what comes next.
• After each session you see your correct, wrong and missed answers.
• Progress is saved directly on your device.
• An optional daily reminder around 11:00 if you haven't practiced yet.
• Piano sound is generated inside the app, so you can train without an internet connection.
• Interface in English, Czech, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian.
• Works on iPhone and iPad; on iPad in portrait and landscape, in Split View and in windows.
• The catalog already lists the next topics: the other black keys, other octaves, other instruments and chords.

Who it's for
Beginners who want to finally hear the difference between notes. Music school students preparing for solfège and ear training classes. Singers, pianists, guitarists and anyone who wants to name a note by ear instead of guessing.

Try practicing for ten minutes a day. Put on headphones, press Start and let your ears do the learning.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-11-11

Ear4Music now runs natively on iPad: full screen in portrait and landscape, in Split View and in windows. The task list, the exercise path and the keyboard keep comfortable proportions on the large screen.

### 1.1 — 2026-11-08

Ads no longer interrupt your practice: a full-screen ad can appear only after you finish an exercise, never before or during one, and not in your first days with the app. Banners appear only when an ad is available, and the keyboard never moves during an exercise. In the EU, UK and Switzerland the new "Ad privacy" link lets you change your ad choices at any time.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-05

No release notes.
