Life changer

My life would have been so much easier if I had access to this when I was a teen. A necessity for any musician.

Gute App, jedoch…

Ich nutze die App, da ich früher fürs Musikstudium Gehörbildung benötigte und mein Gehör ein wenig auffrischen möchte. Ich habe nun nach zwei Jahren einen kleinen Bug entdeckt. Bei Tonleitern in der Sparte Maßgeschneiderte Lektion kann ich manchmal nicht Melodisch Moll auswählen, da die App beim Berühren der Melodisch Moll Taste, die von Äolisch Moll auswählt.

非常棒音准训练软件

课程简单明了,非常直观有效,练了一周后,音准明显增强

Self taught

I played trumpet in 5th and eighth grade, basically could read music, but did not develop an ear. Thirty years later tried again with private lessons and was told I was tone deaf. I have consistently used EarMaster and my ear has dramatically improved. Still on the basic level but my progress is amazing.

还不错

不错

great content, lousy interface

Seems to gave a great approach, BUT, I spend mist of my time figuring out how to put in the correct answers through their terrible user interface. The UI needs an entire redevelopment using outside novices.

Must have

Easy to understand

Baritones beware

Doesn’t recognize the baritone/Bass notes well at All find something else don’t waste your money

Unglaublich Gut! Aber…

Die App ist gefüllt mit Themen, die einen auf die Grundlagen der Gehörbildung schulen und fordern. Jedoch, die Einheiten, bei denen man etwas einsingen kann sind anscheinend nicht optimal für Männerstimmen. Damit die App genau das registriert, was ich singe, muss ich im Falsett singen, sonst schlägt die Tonerkennung aus und meint, ich hätte bspw. eine Quarte drüber gesungen o.Ä.. Das macht die zahlreichen an sich praktischen Einheiten Gesangseinheiten etwas umständlich. Aber das ist bisher der einzige Makel, der mir aufgefallen ist. Alles andere ist Spitze!

Awesome

Utterly awesome app for helping prep for grades.

Awesome!

Endless treasure trove for ear training! When I started, I couldn’t even hear a harmonic interval. Now I can hear (simple) chords. Awesome tool, and I only scratched the surface.

Really good

I think this app is really good for sight reading and vocal singing just the piano exercises don’t make any noise out of the piano!

Incredible

Sometimes there’s something wrong, but mostly 97% is right correction

i hate this app

i have to use this app for school and it sucks

It’s okay…

The overall app is alright, the pitch recognition for lower voices blows…

Plus and minus equals good

It does some things well and some not so much. Overall, it will help improve your hearing

在自定义音程练习里选择上下行的时候一直闪退怎么回事

Супер

Понравилось приложение. Купил не жалею. В дополнение к занятиям с преподом развиваю слух, функциональность отличная

Indispensable

Oui ni plus ni moins,indispensable au vu des progrès ,10mns par jour ou plus vous facilite l’écoute et facilite votre vie de musicien/ ne .tous les thème sont abordés et de toutes les façons chant dictée on peut moduler la vitesse les clefs tessiture etc , appli faite par des musiciens pour des musiciens ,après avoir acheté les modules je suis passé à l’abonnement qui offre la souplesse de pouvoir changer d’appareil (perso smart phone pc et tablette Mac)et de conserver l’avancée des exercices ,c’est un must.

Not For Baritones

The pitch recognition algorithm used in EarMaster is terrible for baritone voice. For one, it maps unpitched vocal transients to pitches, but worse, it misidentifies non-octave vocal harmonics as the sung pitch which obviously results in poor scores for correctly sung notes. Very frustrating.

Regarding the Solfege add-on, which i recently purchased, the solution for the pitch identification problem given in the EarMaster forum is to sing every note as “eee…e” (the vowel sound in “key”). While this improves pitch recognition, it breaks the important training association between the solfege symbol (do, re, mi, …) and the scale location of the sung note. It’s like selling someone a bicycle, then telling them it can only be ridden on one street or the chain will fall off. Per the forum, EarMaster has known about this problem for at least a year.

Until the pitch recognition algorithm is fixed, beware of EarMaster exercises and add-ons that depend on pitch recognition, particularly if you are a baritone. If the exercise depends only on listening to tones, EarMaster has a deservedly good reputation.
