## What is Earmaster?

Earmaster turns ear training into a quick, fun game, so you can play real songs by ear.

Every song uses just 7 notes. Mozart plays the key, then a mystery note: guess its number. A few minutes a day and your ear gets sharper every round.

PRACTICE
• 60 second rounds that start easy, with notes 1 and 2, and grow to all 7
• Major and Minor keys, four speeds
• The hardest level adds the notes below and above
• Always one clear next goal, a little harder than the last
• Levels from Bronze to Legend, and Mozart's wig grows with you

SONGS
• Hear a famous melody, then play it back note by note
• Ode to Joy, Jingle Bells, Twinkle Twinkle, the Tetris theme, Eine kleine Nachtmusik and many more
• Five songs per round, scored by accuracy, with perfect songs counted
• Five levels, from first tunes to long Expert passages

THEORY
• Short lessons on keys and numbers for piano and guitar

Earmaster is completely free. No ads, no account.
